“Banter have opened a new chapter with their exciting take on basically English dance music”
– Ashley Hutchings

NEW ALBUM!!
Our NEW (4th) album is now well underway! We can’t wait to bring it into the world!! We recorded, once again, at the amazing Far Heath Studios in Northamptonshire with the acclaimed, brilliant and unflappable ‘Whispering’ Angus Wallace. The album is now being mastered by the hugely talented Nick Cooke and artwork / track notes are being put together by Nina and Tim. Keep coming back for more news…
