Cinder Path formed in Sheffield in 2025, when singer, guitarist, and songwriter Dan Whitehouse teamed up with bassist Angela Holland (Silent Age, Via Holland) and drummer Dave Timmons (Rossmann Frister, Fallen Trees).
Dan’s name is already familiar across the local and wider music scene – he first came to light with Fights, Rossmann Frister, and later Mabel Love, most recently appearing on stage as a session musician for Reverend and the Makers and Stoney.
The project began in late 2024, when Dan started recording at Sheffield’s Broadcast Recording Studio, working with Matt and Lucy Board from the acclaimed shoegaze band Pale Blue Eyes.
The band’s sound draws comparisons to Interpol, Doves, The Cure, and other acts from the worlds of post-punk and shoegaze – a modern, emotive sound that feels both familiar and new.
