The Sleuths

The Decline of the English Murder

About Me

The Sleuths were born in the middle of England. To be precise, the “City” of Wolverhampton, not far from where we started off by supporting one of our favourite bands of all time, the mighty Quasi at the nearby the Birmingham Barfly.
Since then we have played many places around this fine land, and with other favourites of ours, including Simple Kid, Absentee, Switches and The Procession.
We'd like to spend our days riding around in a black taxi chomping on nibbles, supping some media friendly carbonated drink being driven by George Orwell to somewhere nice, joined by all our favouritist people. But as you can see from the left it would be a full automobile if everyone joined us, especially only a five seater...Maybe a bus? We don't know.
Please feel free to spend as much time here, we are currently in our bedroom trying to record some more for you. But until next time we see you out, take care and most importantly, of each other...BIF!
Love,
The Sleuths
