iLiKETRAiNS met in the Northern Transport
Hub of Leeds in the Spring of 2003. Windswept platforms provide
the inspiration and a love of music that is progressively
English and glacially Icelandic holds them together.
Following their debut single ‘Before The
Curtains Close’ and their second ‘A Rook House For Bobby’
(a tale depicitng the life of Bobby Fischer, the troubled
chess grandmaster), which sold all 500 copies in two days,
PROGRESS, REFORM charts the band’s unique, beautiful sounds
and rousing songs, brimming with exceptional characters and
historical events.
iLiKETRAINS have consistently attracted
english press acclaim. ‘A Rook House For Bobby’ was described
by RoomThirteen.com as “an unequivocal masterpice” and by
Sandman as “nothing short of phenomenal”. Their live shows
see the band dressed in matching British Rail uniforms playing
to a film backdrop of trains, snow and chess, running from
their antiquated projectors . Word of mouth has led to an
ever increasing loyal following of ‘RAiLCARD HOLDERS’ who
are now coming from all over Europe.
