Welcome to the hidden Recliners Page on AndrewZito.com!

If you're reading this, chances are you're a former Recliner, a major fan or in the wrong place.
This space is just a little tribute to a fine project, short lived but well received and still remembered to this day.

Evan Robertson (Former Colleague of Andy's): "... the Recliners are one of my favourite bands - I know every word to that CD!"

Andy is still being asked what happened to 'that band' or even if they're still together.

A gruelling, five month, eleven day recording process led to the first and only EP released by the quintet. The process was initally fast paced and energetic, enthusiastic and tight, but problems with the producer and tensions within the studio's management led to moving the project at least once, and changing producers at the last minute. The result was a 5 track EP with a highly polished first track and 4 additional tracks whose production belied their craftsmanship - all great songs, not done justice, despite the resources and the budget. Thankfully, the live act that was the Recliners was what the audiences craved, and the band found their feet on the stage.

The 5-track EP is available here, please feel free to download the tracks.
