Rapidly rising new young hard rock trio Theia, who were due to support Magnum on their now cancelled UK & Irish tour, release their brand new ‘Eyes Like Fire’ single, (written by Magnum mastermind Tony Clarkin -the first time he has EVER permitted another artist to record ANY of his songs) today on WDFD Records; check the video out at www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefZkdzPb_s
Theia, who hail from Burton-On-Trent, so impressed Tony when they supported Magnum several times in 2019 that he not only offered his song to them, but also invited them to play as special guest act on Magnum’s entire UK tour, which was due to kick off on March 19th at Glasgow’s Garage and conclude at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on 4th April; Theia will still be on board when the Magnum tour is rescheduled for later this year.
Tony states that ““Theia supported us on a short tour and we thought they were a real good band. My daughter asked me if I had any songs lying around; I told her I didn’t but then she said what about ‘Eyes Like Fire’ a song I had forgotten about and never really finished off properly. So the guys recorded it and they made a great job of it.”
Raised on his father’s record collection of Marc Bolan, Alice Cooper and AC/DC, main man Kyle Lamley, (guitar / lead vocals) teamed up with lifelong friend Paul Edwards (bass / vocals) to form the spine of Theia in 2014, with drummer Ash Lamley recruited in 2019 to complete the current line-up.
After two early well received EP’s, Theia released their debut album, ‘Take The Pill’, in September 2015, followed by a storming set at Hard Rock Hell X. Their second album, ‘Back In Line’, released in Spring 2017, received highly favourable reviews as the band set off on a short headline tour and various prestige support slots, before pulling off a storming set at Planet Rock’s Winter’s End Festival in February 2018.
‘The Ghost Light’, Theia’s third album, released in July 2018 via a fully-funded Pledge Campaign, spawned a host of superb reviews and a 13 date November UK tour supporting SKAM.
