Since Ol Beach formed Yellowire in 2010 the band has performed at HMV's Next Big  Thing, Isle of Wight Festival, Rock am Ring & Rock im Park – Germany, Hard Rock  Calling in Hyde Park, Latitude festival and Reading and Leeds festival. The band¼s first  single »One Last Breath¼ was playlisted by Radio 2 in the UK and had international  support with Radio play across Europe, to as far afield as Dubai.

On the back of this success the band released their debut album »Machines On Fire¼ in  August 2011. They have also released the single »Machines On Fire¼ which has had  plays on Absolute, BBC Radio London and Radio 2.    

Ol wrote, produced and engineered the songs for this debut album and then joined  forces in London with producer Richard Flack (Florence and the Machine, Queens of  the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Guy Chambers). The result is a style that alludes to the  gentle, almost gospel-ish fervour of some early-70s Rolling Stones to the more urgent  sound of Tender-era Blur, although Ol reckons it¼s more Lou Reed meets U2.    

The album was released by Swiss independent label id Records and distributed by Universal. It features a one of a kind collaboration with renowned graphic artist Jimmy  Turrell (Dazed and Confused, The Prodigy, Getty, The Wall Street Journal, The  Observer). The physical album is limited edition and includes a 24-page booklet of  original art, 12-pa
