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.

Doves release their fifth long player The Universal Want on Virgin EMI. On lead track Prisoners Doves forces attention upon itself, not least with the poignancy of Goodwin’s repeated greeting to ‘old friends’, but as an unstoppable, driving tale of caution in a world of unending desire. Produced by Doves with Dan Austin and recorded at the band’s own Frank Bough Sound III studios in North West England, the high heat of its Northern Soul beat is fanned by wiry guitar breaks and cuts of ethereal noise contorting beneath layers of stacked vocals. A statuesque musical statement, Prisoners guides Doves’ second chapter to a peak now within touching distance, the lyrics contrasting to express unease with modern ills.
