"They're going places, and I'm not talking Benidorm”
- Unsigned Band Review
Formed in early 2011 ALL TOO ANIMAL really are a fresh and exciting band, with early success to prove it. This summer alone has seen ATA crowned winners of The Music League competition in June, playing 2000 capacity boutique event Winterwell Festival, which won them the opportunity to play 12,000 capacity London one day festival 1-2-3-4 Shoreditch. At both events, the band were a massive hit with first time listeners and musicians alike, receiving huge support and leaving with an ever-increasing following of loyal fans - all within a relatively short time on the scene. Along with performances at venues such as The Queen of Hoxton, Mother 333, The Camden Rock and The Hoxton Pony, ALL TOO ANIMAL have been quickly invited to play up coming gigs at Barfly, The Proud Galleries and Acton's The King's Head.
Their sound is born of wide ranging influences, their classical training combining with a serious interest in psychedelic rock, jazz and electronic music making for a body of music which never feels limited by the conventions of a single genre. There's also an infectiously fun side to their set, combining musical twists and turns as well as imaginative and ironic verse.
“The complete absence of cliché makes for an original and challenging experience. You can tell these guys are musicians to their core, and natural lyricists too. They're going places, and I'm not talking Benidorm”.

"The evening was filled with promiscuous hip-swinging and reckless abandon...I, in fact, loved all of it."
