Ardenthas a dance around to
Love;
some Hendrix and Beatles classics…
This eager alternative group emerged
from the streets of London during late
2010; three friends decided to form a
band whilst studying music at AS or A2
level, little did they know they would be
selling music across the country.
“Everyone’s gagging to hear what they
have to offer!” an extract from News of
The World newspaper on Sunday.
The band name, Ardent Love, means a
never-ending or a passionate love
towards something… could this be
representing your love for them? They all
grew up in different areas of England,
but all ended up in London by the time
they were 12.

“We all have high hopes
for Ardent Love,
especially with an
unusual name like that,
they could be the sound
of 2011,” says Capital FM on a
regular morning breakfast show, they are
keen to get the girls on the show for a
further interview and to ask more about
them.
Daybreak morning television programme
will also be hosting the band in the near
future, the show are trying to widen their
range of guests and as they have
recently had stars as big as Justin
Bieber in they would like something fresh
to counteract the fame.
to all styles of music and has a broad fashion sense. She attends the same
college as her band-mates and is studying performing arts as she’s always
dreamed of going into the business one day. “I am most inspired by Laura
Marling, Katy B, Mumford & Sons and Little Comets because they each reflect a
vocal style,” Abbie told us during our time with the band.
Jess, acoustic guitar and back-up vocals - a quiet teenager originally from
Cheshire who never goes anywhere without her iPod; has been interested in
music from a very young age after being brought up with a Dad who also plays
acoustic guitar. She has always been fascinated by the world of fashion media,
and hopes one day she will transfer from the band into this parallel world full of
colour. “Erm… I see Ellie Goulding, Two Door Cinema Club and The Pretty
Reckless as the most inspirational bands and I try to take something from each
band when I perform,” Jess voiced her opinion after a long pause during the
interview.
Georgia, drummer - the 18 year old will hold back a year from university to stay
with the band, she is very passionate about her instrument and has been
drumming since she lived in Stockport in the 90’s. Her original plans were to
become a Pharmacist as she’s the brainy one of the group, she may still pursue
this dream one day but if the band takes off… who knows! “THE ARCTIC
MONKEYS! Oh, and The Maccabees and Biffy Clyro,” Georgia seemed
extremely enthusiastic about her inspiration and is a huge fan of Matt Helder from
The Arctic Monkeys.
“We are not people
pleasers; we make
music that shows our

personalities,”

– Abbie admitted this during our
short interview with the band; they
definitely know their intentions and
how they are going to kick-start
their careers. Georgia claimed that

she always wanted to perform on
Radio One and it has been a
dream to show her talent since she
started drumming. Along with the
determination of Jess’ career, “I’ve

always wanted to make it in the
world and pursue my dreams, and
now it’s all becoming real I don’t
want to ruin my chances!” The
band are hoping to make a big

impact on 2011 and by creating
trademarks with their clothes they
should be memorable. They have
already designed a single-cover to
be released on iTunes during May.
