The Greensands are an award-winning, three-piece band from Bedford, UK.

I recently produced their debut EP, Breathe, released in October 2024. Recorded in the spring, it was the first time they’d worked with a producer and had a professional recording made. But they have been gigging for years and had the material and budget ready.

They returned to the studio this year and recorded Going Gold. I worked through the stems in my studio, and shaped and mixed it into their new single release in January 2025. Listen below!

Production Approach:

I took The Greensands to a recording studio in Northampton for a two-day session. There was no pre-production so they were going to the studio based on a couple of demos that he’d heard, with the aim of capturing the band at their most natural sounding, as like their live sound as possible.

Back to my studio in Kingston where I edited the recordings and supported the arrangements by adding additional backing vocals, some strings and keyboards to thicken the sound here and there, but again, the aim was to keep the sound authentic to them as a calling card, so no overdoing it!

The Sound:

The Greensands band makes high energy melodic rock, with mature vocals harking back to Shed 7 and the glory days of late 90s Brit pop, with the Royal Blood moden edge drummer and bass combo.

Since creating the EP, the band has been successful in getting radio promo, headlining gigs, winning competitions and playing CarFest in August 2024. They’re one to watch!
