Music like Flyte

Flyte are recording artists from London, England, known for their crafted and often confessional songwriting style.

Taylor and Supran started playing together when they were eleven at their local comprehensive school. Hill and Berridge joined later; the rest of the band first heard Berridge singing in the London Underground. The band takes its name from Sebastian Flyte of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. After a video of Taylor and Berridge covering Joni Mitchell's "River" went viral, the band signed a record deal with Island Records.

Flyte's first single "We Are the Rain" was released on Transgressive Records on 28 April 2014. The single and B-side "Where Nobody Knows Your Name" were mixed and produced by Dan Grech-Marguerat and released digitally along with a limited run of 7-inch vinyl. The video for "We Are the Rain" was premiered by Michael Cragg on The Guardian's music blog. The single received support from Radio 1, XFM, BBC 6Music, BBC London, and Amazing Radio. It was announced in 2013 that the band had been signed by Island Records
