Sounds Like: "The Lea Shores are my favourite new band... I saw them supporting the Brian Jonestown Massacre in Stockholm and was hooked straight away. The music is psychedelic and layered... distorted guitars and harmonies but underneath it's almost folk music. They should be big... they're already fucking epic!" Andy Bell (RIDE & OASIS)
