Biography
BOND are a truly global success with much of 2003 taken up with touring, particularly throughout Asia and the USA and a cameo role in Working Title's International smash hit movie JOHNNY ENGLISH ensuring that BOND remained at the forefront of the classical world. The latter part of 2003 was spent recording CLASSIFIED and inevitably with their rich cosmopolitan experiences, BOND brought with them into the studio a variety of their global tastes and influences.However the classical inspiration on CLASSIFIED is still very strong and this is exemplified by the inclusion of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra who accompany the band throughout the album. BOND played a much larger role in the arrangements and compositions on CLASSIFIED, having written over a third of the album themselves working with legendary producer YOUTH, club DJ ED LEAL and MATT DUNKLEY. This new sound sees BOND maturing and gaining confidence in both their natural identities and musicianship, clearly demonstrating that their music has hit a global nerve for a sound that is both emotionally uplifting and transporting. The BOND global bandwagon continues in 2004 with the release of CLASSIFIED around the world and a concert tour visiting Europe, South America, the USA and Asia.
