Singer/songwriter and flautist Samantha Whates was born in Bridgnorth and spent her formative years in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and various towns and cities in the UK. She is now based in London where she is a regular on the singer/songwriter circuit, performing at many of the capital’s top venues, including The Electroacoustic Club, Cargo and the Strongroom Bar. Recently, her demo recordings for NSR have been receiving radio airplay, most notably on ‘New Ground’ for KCRW radio, Southern California’s premier independent station.

Awoken began in 2003 playing heavy and fast hardcore. Working non-stop, with determination and a consistantly positive attitude, constant shows across the UK, a debut MCD on Let It Burn Records and 2 tours across Europe; including a 5 week - 30 show tour sharing the stage with Hoods, saw Awoken make their mark on European hardcore. Throughout several line up changes and a real sense of growth, powerful, cleverly structured anthems laced with groove and a sense of brutality remained the foundation of Awoken's sound.
