WoC started out as a solo electronic project
undertaken by Paul Eastham.
Through lack of the right musicians he set out on his
own in his tiny bedroom studio with a synth a 4 track
and a six string guitar tuned down to A ,writing and
recording songs like SYSTEM and all other synth
electro industrial tracks. The orchestral side of
things happened when he wrote the arangement for
DESIESE, a lush melody that builds and builds until
you feel like fucking yourself.
After realising that performing his material live
would suck without a band , He recruited his old
drummer from a band called ORPHEUS Steve Phillips
,which gave the drum parts something very special.
When paul got pressured into joining a band called
milestone based up in winsford where he met up with
drummer Mark Beal for which their styles clicked from
the word go!
Although soon after the completion of their debut
album Paul very angrily stormed out in the middle of
the night and hiked back to Southampton, leaving Mark
to complete the launch shows alone. Mark then went on
to play two more shows himself and after refusing to
sign contracts with the band he quit.
One year later... Paul received a phone call from Awen
records which was the label behind the milestone
project. Asking if he would be interested in co
writing some tracks for a welsh singer called Aimee
Duffy with mark on drums again and engineering. Paul
said yes to the project and made his way up to
pentreth north Wales to begin production.
Paul decided to recruit the bassist Greg Latham from a
limp bizkit tribute band for which paul was the singer
two years previous.
January 2004. Mark moves to Southampton to join paul,
steve and greg , becoming one of two drummers in
Winter of Clowns.....ooohhhh yeahhhhh!!!
WoC setup their studio and began rehersing the
material composed by Paul and WoC for the bands debut
album with paul playing 7string guitars..
April 2004. WoC found guitar prodigy dan plummer in a
local Southampton paper. After one week of playing
with the band they new he was the guitarist they had
been hoping for.

winter of clowns have released a solo piano album by thier singer.it isnt metal in any way shape or form but it shows that they really are musicians who know thier shit.
the reason for releasing the classical album first is so that they dont get accused of being (sellouts) 10 years down the line when the singer goes back too his roots of being an ex concert pianist.
there will be a demo on here very soon.
