Rohan By Nightfall are an English indie/folk rock band from a small town called Fobbing in Essex. Whilst their name heralds from the epic film trilogy, The Lord Of The Rings, of which the band admit to being huge fans, the inspiration for the name came from a brief spell hiking in the Lake District several years ago.

The band comprises of Theo Sanders (vocals, guitar, piano), Adam Drutman (violin, cello, lead guitar), Tim Durden (drums, perc.), and Will Sparling (bass).

Currently playing an eclectic blend of acoustic alternative indie/folk rock with shades of metal and the ever-present threat of mid 90’s dance grooves, the sound has been compared to the likes of Idlewild and Frank Turner, mixed with Jack Penate and Bloc Party.

In August 2008, the band recorded their debut EP, ‘The Oakdene Sessions, Pt 1′. Since its release, the band have played numerous shows around southern England, and have gained rapid popularity through several social networking and online websites. In August 2009, the track ‘Vitamin C’ was selected as a finalist in the Overplay.com PlayRate competition. The EP tracks, ‘Vitamin C’ and ‘Fracture’, have also been played on several local and internet radio stations.

The band are currently working on material for their second EP, which is due to be recorded in Nov 2009.
