the name
the name Bio:

Put in place after the untimely demise of Long Addiction in 2003, .the name: originally consisted of Paul Curtis-Harper and fellow former Long Addiction member Adam Yates to write, record and hopefully tour the material around Yorkshire and hopefully the UK. This partnership didn't last too long as each members other personal commitments meant they could not spend the time needed in order to make this plan become a reality.

Nothing happened with .the name: until the summer of 2005 when Paul found himself back in the musical groove writing the whole of the "Losing The Faith" album in the space of 2 weeks and .the name: was reborn. So much new material was being written at this point that 7 songs which spilled over from "Losing The Faith" formed the backbone of .the names: 2nd album "Chronicles Of A Suicide Blonde". Paul recorded the first 2 albums by May of 2006 and has put together 2 EP's from each album. While some new material was still being written Paul decided to back to the Long Addiction roots and record the 3rd album "A New Era". The title comes from what Long Addiction were going to call their first album before their split. So, as of this moment Paul is planning on taking .the name: on a mini acoustic tour around local venues, supporting other bands and making people aware of the music of .the name: once more.

I've spent quite abit of time over the last week putting my music on a few sites to try and get it listened to more by the GP (general public) of course this takes time and I'm just going to list the sites where you can now here a selection of my tracks from different albums. If you have the time or can be arsed then give them a listen and any feedback would be appreciated. Also remember that they were recorded in my bedroom so don't expect the best thing ever. http://www.myspace.com/thenamesolo http://www.mp3unsigned.com/Showband.asp?id=10970 http://www.overplay.co.uk/band.asp?band_id=1004460 http://www.showcaseyourmusic.com/thename http://www.unsigned.com/thename Thanks for your support and i look forward to any feedback.
