PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND were formed after realising that sharing each-others Chemikal Underground Records was never going to be enough. Hailing from the nation’s northern fringes they set about laying dark, often very personal lyrics over the lightest melodies they could muster, writing about what they knew - of trawler-trash town love affairs, of being trapped in failing relationships and of youth squandered.

PEI first garnered interest after winning the Xfm Unsigned competition, resulting in a slot at the O2 Festival, Hyde Park. They were featured recently playing four songs on BBC 2 Scotland’s music TV show Rapal and their debut EP, Lies To Tell Tourists, was released on BabyBoom Records. In between a UK tour, singles releases, BBC Radio 1 sessions at Maida Vale and a regular slot as Welsh quirk-pop songwriter John MOuse’s backing band Prince Edward Island finally find time to release debut album ‘This day is a good enough day’ on Crocfingers.
