I know it's not like me to struggle for things to say about anything but words fail me when I try to describe this band. The only sentence I can come up with is it really is the definitive sound of summer. Even if it is floods outside (well it is in Droitwich anyway). These guys, based in Worcester are so ridiculously talented you'd forget about all that in a second. Having seen this band live not so long ago they really are my pick to see this summer.

With clever layering and intricate vocal parts "Sun Go Down" is a great start to any day. The instrumental style of the guitar compliments the complexed singing style perfectly. Everything is beautifully simple by the most part but in the solos each band member confirms their talent with impressive interludes. It's in a whole genre of its own! This band is breaking boundaries like eggshells, making it look so easy you can't help but wonder why it hasn't been done before! Folk with a rock riff twist!

"Gravestones" I was lucky enough to see live. I'm sure you'll agree that having seen a band you like live, a fair few when it comes to recording material just don't cut the mustard but I'm glad to report that live and otherwise this band really do deliver "Gravestones" has a really nice slow and acoustic sounding beginning which is revisited throughout and forms the strong foundations for layer upon layer of rich sounds.

If you've never listened to these reviews before or you have no Idea what I'm waffling on about these guys are playing at the Velvet lounge in Worcester on the 9th August and I think its well worth a look.

For fans of: Something a bit different!
