Duels are a five-piece band from Leeds, England.The band, which consists of brothers Jim and Jon Foulger (guitar and vocals respectively), their cousin Katherine (keyboards and backing vocals), drummer James Kirkbright and bassist Jon Maher, create anthemic new-wave pop with sinister undercurrents to create a unique, vibrant sound, while recalling legendary artists such as David Bowie and Pulp along the way.
Duels have opened for Kaiser Chiefs and former Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, and have toured the UK and Europe with The Rakes, The Zutons, and The Kooks. The band played the Radio1/NME Stage at the Leeds/Reading Festivals and opened the main stage at T In The Park 2006.
Their first album, 'The Bright Lights & What I Should Have Learned' was released in August 2006 to widespread critical acclaim and after extensive touring and an amicable split from Nude records, Duels commenced work on their second full-length release, to be named "The Barbarians Move In".
"The Barbarians Move In" will be digitally released via the bands website on February 14th, 2008 and physically released on This Is Fake DIY Records in the spring.
