 Here's some bits 'n pieces for the press release.
Hope it's ok, wasn't sure when you needed it by.
The band originally formed in July of 2005 at a house party and recently reshuffled its lineup to Matthew Somers (guitar/voice) Susie Patten (drums/voice) Cameron Hawes (guitar/voice)
The 'bass-less' line up of two guitars and drums immediately established a pretty distinctive sound, along with shared vocal duties from all three members.
Individually, our musical tastes are pretty broad which helps the writing process no end, we all somehow end up on the same page when we're in the rehearsal room. We really draw from a gamut, some of which includes Sleater Kinney, TV On The Radio, Leonard Cohen, The Smiths, The Raveonettes, Magnetic Fields, Frank Black, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Walkmen, Slumber Party, The Pharcyde...
In our sixth month existence we've kind of balanced our songwriting, through no real conscious steps, between a certain abrasive energy and an instinct for pop. The most exciting part for us is writing within the context of that balance and coming up with really hooky things that people can either whistle in the shower, or holler at the top of their lungs.
We've recently booked some really exciting shows with the likes of Deerhoof and Calvin Johnson, ones that hopefully are testament to our originality and diversity as a band. We're currently writing new material for an eventual full-length release and are collectively really excited about the level of songwriting we're pushing each other to. Literally… I've got bruises.
The EP's a fun little taster I guess, a bit like those pop-corn places in shopping centres that give out free sample cups. Except people will probably have to pay for this...
"Catch-tacular pop, tracks like London In Love hook into your brain with tiger claws."- Rave
"It's music with an exclaimation point." - Time Off
