Edinburgh's Exile Band is a collective of musical disciples praising God in the sanctuary, wrestling with him in the desert, and pursuing him through creation. Having played and toured extensively since their formation in 2003, their first and all-original album un|broken was released in May 2009. Their recorded sound reflects the rich orchestral textures and gospel overtones of their live performances, but influences ranging from chamber music to blues rock are evident in places, reflecting the songwriters' varied backgrounds.

Geneva-born Nicolas Julliard decided to become Fauve in 1999. His previous non-career moves include various participations in unknown bands such as Grammar & Use and Illford. Fauve explores the margins of songwriting, blending pop, minimal electro, Broadway melodies, easy-listening and bossa-nova. French magazine "Les Inrockuptibles" awarded him a spot in their annual compilation CD "Ceux qu'il faut découvrir". That was in 2004, when Fauve was known as Sombre. Since then, Fauve has collected enough material to produce his first album, released in spring 2006 by Gentlemen Records.
