About Me

Rokhsan had been cutting Henry’s hair for as long as he cares to remember; Although not altogether comfortable with the arrangement Henry was too polite to say anything. Once they were old enough to play guitars, but too young to go out on a school night, they disrupted folk clubs from Whitstable to Workington with their Bleeding Hearts Country Mixtape Band. Ed and James spent their formative teenage years in a string of well meaning but unfortunately named shambolic punk bands. The story of how these four first met and started there never-ending tour of abandoned music halls is far too long to go into now but suffice to say that it involves a basement party, two boys in the same Belle and Sebastian t-shirt and a case of mistaken identity in the dark. They live (and sometimes work) in South London."the highest pop band which in the essence was digested in original sound!" - Flake Records (Japan)"This in the pure pop sense which leads to ... the stirring impression of perfect the large masterpiece which it tells with the sound which overflows!" Arch Records (Japan)"Wonderful pop confection" - Shaun Keaveny 6music”Do you remember the day you kissed a girl for the first time? It was a wonderful, slobbery experience! And in that sense, a little bit like Little Things- a band that have single handedley invented Nu-Twee and got away with it. It is an infectious pop conundrum!” - Artrocker!“This is a young band writing fabulous, upbeat pop-tunes. It is hard to doubt that in time lovers will skip along hand-in-hand to these affectionate songs.” – Music Week"Sometimes I find little things that make my day. Two songs received by email have been played over and over again. Each time I play these songs, I hear something new. Each time, I'm struck by the brilliant arrangements and the fantastic harmonies made by two very different voices singing on the same song. I just love it. Very, very good stuff. "Lullaby" is one of the most beautiful modern good night-songs I've heard in a very long time." - Knut B. Lindbjør from Eardrums music“Expensive liquid sits heavily on my stomach, and I danced less than I would have liked to a thrilling and energetic set from Little Things. A heavy and eclectic touring schedule have elevated the group from charmingly shambolic performers to a tight yet exuberant unit. Though not yet completely transcending their influences, Little Things often suprise by taking their lilting melodies on extended and passionate detours into punk and reggae. Three out of four members share vocal duties, the weaving harmonies of Iggs and Rox that begin as a pleasant addition becoming an essential bedrock as Henry comes to inhabit the songs, his voice morphing into an exuberant yelp on new numbers like ‘Brand New Rollerskates’. Overall an enthralling set, only broken up by unnecessary exhortations to purchase their latest record, ‘Swallows And Little Things’ from Henry. We didn’t need the hard sell, we loved it.” – GigsReviewsNews.com
