Air Traffic are an English indie rock band from Bournemouth. The band used to practice in an abandoned aircraft hangar, where air traffic control signals would be picked up on their amplifiers, leading to their name. Their music features heavy use of piano, and they have been described by NME to be like "Supergrass covering Little Richard".
Their first single, a double-a side of "Just Abuse Me" and "Charlotte", was released in July 2006 through the independent record label Label Fandango. 500 copies of the single were produced, all of which sold out within a few days of the release date. Following this, the band were signed to the Tiny Consumer branch of EMI in the same month. They were noticed by Radio 1 DJ Steve Lamacq and began to receive some mainstream success, with their song "Never Even Told Me Her Name" receiving airplay on Radio 1 and Kerrang! Radio.
They spent much of August and September 2006 in Monmouth, Wales, recording their music in a recording studio. Four of these tracks were released as an EP on 30th October, which included the single "Never Even Told Me Her Name", "Get In Line", an acoustic version of "Time Goes By", and a demo of "Shooting Star", a song released as a promo CD. A music video was produced for "Never Even Told Me Her Name" by the company type2error, who created videos for the likes of Paul Weller, Captain, Hope of the States and The Rakes.
Recently the band re-released "Charlotte" on March 26, 2007. This marked the band's first move into the charts, with the song reaching #33 in the UK Singles Chart.
