Influences:
Sounds Like: Press quotes ahoy:“These guys are something special…†– Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 2“Beautifully melancholic songwriting†– Clash“Utterly Gorgeous†– Planet Sound (ranked no.7 in albums of ‘08 list)“Perfect country-pop songwriting – they need to be huge†– Frank Turner, Rock Sound“A fine five piece from nowhere in particular, as honest and beautiful as the day is long. Breezy, English sweethearts of the rodeo, take everything they have, I think you might need it…†– Organ Art“A blissed-out Wilco? Conor Oberst’s chirpy kid brother? A less lonely Loney, Dear? More importantly, they’ve their own unique hazy charm. Get on board – this won’t stop ’til Glasto’s main stage.†– Channel 4 Planet Sound (again)“Each song is perfectly crafted and hook laden†– Repeat Fanzine“The quality of the song-writing and performance overshadow any comparisons to other bands – good songs are always going to be good songs.†– Whispering & Hollerin
