Window Seats are a three-piece alternative rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. They are the first unsigned Northern Ireland artists to be featured on MTV Rocks. The band has self-produced seven music videos, single single releases and an EP under its own record label, Get Out Records. The band was formed in 2007 and currently consists of members Jude McCaffrey (lead vocals, guitar), Elliot Russell (bass and Tony Furnell (drums, backing vocal). History 2007–2008: Formation Jude McCaffrey, Tony Furnell and bassist Ryan Lilley formed Window Seats in 2007. Writing and performing together, the band also recorded their music themselves. In 2008 this culminated in the release of a 3-track demo named "Local Superhero". The title track received support from UK radio stations during 2008 and 2009, including BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio Ulster. Lilley left the band in 2009 and was replaced by Ryan 'Didsy' Bradley, who McCaffrey and Furnell had initially met while attending college together in the early 2000s. 2009–2010: Early singles and videos After Bradley's addition to the lineup, Window Seats began self-producing new single releases and a number of music videos. In 2010, CD singles "No Show" and "Miss Midnight / Awake" were given much critical acclaim by the Irish press. As music journalist Jackie Hayden described in Hot Press, "No Show bursts from the traps and runs riot all over your hi-fi before going into stop-start mode driven by demented, rasping drums." AU Magazine described the first track of double A-side "Miss Midnight / Awake" as "featuring some lovely, atmospheric production, a strident vocal performance from Jude McCaffrey." Coinciding with these single releases, the band produced two music videos for "No Show" (both directed by Bryan Stewart) and one for "Miss Midnight" (directed by Jonathan Beer). 2011–2013: Frozen Bones EP In May 2011 Window Seats made their back catalogue available to download for free, alongside a new song, "Rat". In a live review BBC producer Steven Rainey described the song as "head and shoulders above the rest of the set, possessing an effervescent guitar and bass melody that really causes the audience to pay attention, perhaps pointing the way forward for this band of indie-rock adventurers." The band released a video for "Rat" in April 2011 but had already begun work on the next music video, an ambitious project to accompany the next single. In August the group performed a live session on BBC
