The Dave Complaints

About Me

The Dave Complaints are Al & Chris from the great city of Brighton, for upcoming recording sessions we will also be joined by Bryn from the frankly wicked Sweet F.A...

Mike Newitt reviewing our demo EP 'Good Night To The City':
"If a younger Alex Turner had recorded solo demos of what was to go on and evolve to be the current sensation that is The Arctic Monkeys, I'm certain they would have sounded a little like this. Only in their late teens, The Dave Complaints demonstrate what great simple british songwriting is and display the same pop genius that bands such as T'Monkeys, The Jam and the Libertines have used to define the modern indie scene. It's only a matter of time 'til they're discovered and the latest in a long line of great british frontmen takes his place."
