Manchester, United Kingdom (2009 - 2010) Stuart Thornton Max Hammond Richard Ford Tom Nolan http://www.myspace.com/theoxygenindex The Oxygen Index are an indie band based in Manchester. After forming in early 2009, the band picked up buzz from early shows with songs such as Rivers and Honestly being live favourites. One of these shows included a slot supporting The Answering Machine at their album launch in summer 2009. The band continued to play live shows, including notably at In The City Fringe Festival, and a number of dates around Manchester. In December 2009, the band revealed their first recorded material available in the form of an EP titled Evenings Become Electric, which was made available via free download, catching the attention of a number of record labels and other industry folk over the winter months. On the back of the EP, the band played a number of gigs in early 2010, to support the release, as well as two dates at Manchester's Academy 3. The band have since recruited new members for the things to come, which include a number of headline shows over the course of the summer, and one, if not several releases in the duration of the year, with a reinvented sound maintaining elements both new and old. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Oxygen+Index">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
