Simon Felton "Surrender, Dorothy!" (2011)

This second solo outing from the Garfields Birthday frontman is sunshine in a CD. It's all the fun of the fair with a carnival atmosphere. The multi-talented Alan Strawbridge, ably assisted by Californian cult-superstar Anton Barbeau, have hand crafted a gem of a vehicle for Simon’s songs and pure vocal style. This successful team had masterminded his maiden solo release back in 2009 and their masterful touch two years on makes this an absolute joy to behold.

Garfields Birthday "More Sense Than Money" (2010)

Now into their 15th year and with new guitarist Leighton McGrath on board, Garfields Birthday have completed the follow up to 2008s very well-received Let Them Eat Cake album. Amongst the new gems on More Sense Than Money are a tribute to the loyal supporters of a weekly karaoke night held in Weymouth; a dreamy account of a memorable weekend spent in Cambridge; and the first ever writing collaboration by Shane and Simon in ‘Cool Your Jets’!

Simon Felton "Failing in Biology" (2009)

Simon finally came of age with the release of his first "proper" solo album in 2009 after singing and playing bass guitar with indie-pop stalwarts Garfields Birthday since the mid 90s. He joined forces with Californian cult-superstar Anton Barbeau and the now Bristol-based psych-pop legend Alan Strawbridge to give us Failing in Biology, a concise and punchy album of shiny pop gems!

This excellent Garfields Birthday album was released to widespread acclaim in 2008. Recorded by the band between 2005 and 2007, it features ten generous helpings of perfect melodic indie/power pop, complete with jangly guitars, harmonies and hooks galore!
