Eastern Lane

Derek Meins – vocals, guitar
Andrew Lawton - guitar
Danny Ferguson - drums
Stuart Newlands - bass
 
In a little village on the Scottish border, Bertwick-Upon-Tweed, bore four boys who formed to make Eastern Lane.
They first started recording their five-song demo in a farm shed out in the wilds.
 
Subsequently they copied addresses from their favourite records and sent them out – with little expectation.
 
This is a story with a happy ending – and we all like those! – come October 2001 Eastern Lane found themselves with a record deal.
 
At the end of 2002, they recorded their debut LP Shades of Black working closely with Iain Harvie – guitarist in Del-Amitri.
Five weeks later it was finished.

“It all got a bit Lord of the flies towards the end” explains Derek of their working conditions – nice!
 
Their newest album The Article is a twelve-track feisty rock number which will cement these guys firmly into the world of rock stardom – or at least get them out of that farm!
