Lifesigns

About us

We are an independent UK based band of virtuoso professional musicians.

Our 2017 album Cardington got to number 4 in the UK Indie chart without so much as a play on mainstream radio.

The 2021 album Altitude was crowdfunded by our dedicated fans in 40 countries worldwide (including 36 US states) and has been compared to everything from Steely Dan to Pink Floyd to U.K.

We all have track records playing with bands ranging from Asia and The Scorpions through to pop and jazz icons like Bonnie Tyler and Quincy Jones.

Altitude

Released on CD March 2021 and on vinyl July 2021

As an independent release sold through the band, Altitude was not eligible to follow its predecessor into the official charts. Nonetheless it reached the Top 100 in the Amazon UK charts and was Number 1 in the US Gagliarchives radio chart (for 14 weeks) and in the Dutch iO Pages magazine chart. It was voted No. 2 album of 2021 in the Prog Magazine Readers' Poll, with individual accolades going to John Young (1st keyboards) and Dave Bainbridge (3rd guitar).

Here are some quotes from recent reviews:

The Prog Report -

Compositions are soulful, varied, epic and utterly glorious in their musicality. This underrated guitarist delivers a moment of musical Zen that is as good as anything you have heard from a Rothery, Rabin, Gilmour or Howe. Take a bow, Mr Bainbridge – you have made the angels sob in the best possible way.

Japanese review -

One of the finest sounding albums I’ve heard for years 

So much space between the instruments the album seems to breathe

Fireworks -

Quite exquisite music with goose bumps aplenty

Simply Stunning

French Review

Everything I love is there; damn, these moments are rare!

MLWZ Poland

The band have been playing to rave reviews in the UK and Europe, and most recently (May 2022) played on the music cruise Cruise To The Edge out of Florida. This excerpt is from a typical review of their performance:

The Prog Report -

Lifesigns in the Theatre were a sight and sound to behold. Utterly and absolutely triumphant, this was my

favourite concert of the entire cruise.
