The Peach Tree

The Peach Tree is the solo project of musician/writer/producer Angus Maiden. He believes in freedom of copyable information and encourages everyone to download and share his tracks for free.

The project began circa 2003 as school friends Angus Maiden and Michael Cooney's concept of a band; a band that would break genre barriers and reach across the music spectrum to touch a whole host of different individuals. The duo began writing songs together after they finished school and practised sporadically, but the dream of being up there on stage delivering their message always seemed faraway.

From 2003 to 2006 the two kept their dream that they would form a "proper" band and start delivering their songs to local audiences. They continued to jam and officialy recruited new members, but never fully coalesced into a cohesive entity. Members of the "band" at one point reached 5 members: Cooney (guitar, vocals), Gus (guitar, vocals), Erin (bass), Sarah (synth, piano) and Bourkey (drums), but as people do, they all led busy lives and slowly, they dispersed

Thus The Peach Tree morphed into Angus' own solo project, and he has released five albums and two EPs to date under the name. His sound derives from the massive range of influences he is exposed to, and includes everything from pop melodies to dance tracks, death metal epics, and rockin' blues tracks.
