Doves is an alternative rock band hailing from Manchester, England. Formed in 1998, the band consists of twin brothers Jez Williams on guitar and vocals, Andy Williams on drums and vocals, and Jimi Goodwin on bass, vocals, and guitar. After a hiatus from 2010 to 2018, during which Jimi Goodwin released a solo album and the Williams brothers formed Black Rivers, Doves regrouped to continue creating their unique sound.
With their distinctive blend of rock influences and melodic hooks, Doves have captivated audiences worldwide. Their music resonates with fans who appreciate their heartfelt lyrics and powerful performances. The band's years of experience shine through in every song they create.
During their hiatus period, each member explored individual projects that showcased their immense talent. However, it was inevitable that these three talented musicians would come back together to once again create magic as Doves. Fans eagerly await new releases from this iconic British band.

The Last Broadcast was released almost exactly two years after Lost Souls, in April 2002. Recorded over a year in myriad studio settings, including famously setting up beneath a motorway flyover for M62 Song, the album rushed straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart, preceded the week before by the chiming, anthemic brilliance of pummelling Top 3 lead single, There Goes The Fear. Having gone into sessions buoyed by Lost Souls’ reception and encountering the wide-eyed reactions of fans reactions throughout buoyant UK and overseas tours, The Last Broadcast heard Doves drawing the blinds to let in a little more light. Satellites’ hand claps and honeyed, gospel harmonies, Caught By The Rivers’ upbeat acoustica and the irrepressible indie dancefloor hit of Pounding sat alongside the gentility of Friday’s Dust in a hard to define blend of air-punching joy and a familiar heartache. The Last Broadcast was Doves’ second album to receive a Mercury Award nomination.
