Koala

Psychedelic-Glam-Punk-Pop band Koala started life in the midlands as a collaboration between school friends Martin Cadwallader (guitars/vocals/keyboards) , Gaz Evans (bass/vocals/samples) and occasional computer geek, Tim Paul. Moving to South London they were joined by swiss drummer Daniel Strittmatter (ex-High Llamas, Mike Scott, Ian McNabb) where they cemented their love of Husker Du, Beach Boys, Slade and the Flaming Lips into one very loud noise. After thieving as much free time in any studio they could find, Koala have completed their debut album, the mighty 'DO NOT BE AFRAID', and signed to the gigantic multimedia conglomerate CO-POP records for the album's December 6th (2004) release.

DO NOT BE AFRAID is available to buy across the UK and parts of Ireland in all major record chains - Virgin Megastore, HMV, Tower, and can be ordered at all good independent record stores - Catalogue No. CO-POP0012 Wrasse/Universal
