SHIT HOT POP ROCK

About Me

UP-COMING GIGS..................12/03/08 Hope & Anchor, Islington, 10PM...................................................The Fourers live in Brixton, and are a distinctive, dark pop/rock band. Sharp words, great melodies and a consistent stream of unique songs have seen them receive radio play from BBC6-music, Radio 1, 4Radio, unsigned band of the week from Steve Lamacq and a glowing review in the Times New Band section:......'Very tight and blistering lyrics... It won't be long before they are being forced to hang out with Franz Ferdinand' - The Times, New Bands......This is what the Fourers listen to: Motown to Blur, Supergrass to DJ Shadow, Radiohead to the Neptunes, the Beatles to Kraftwork - some of it must stick......'Brixton's the Fourers are particularly good... they should be flying around in jumbo jets with songs like that.' - Alex James (Blur/Evening Standard)...'A band who know they are good together, an intelligent catchy sound' - BBC Radio......'The Fourers greatest strength is that theyre not afraid to chart new sonic territories, combining this with eminently catchy songs. A good combination' - RockFeedback.com. .......'Brilliantly weird ...Catchy, unashamedly poppy, but given an edge by strangely mournful vocals that lift it above the usual catchy pop.' - aloud.com............
