keeprighton2 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Kicking up a bit of a storm over here. English renegade folkies led by a 22 year-old from Middle England who sounds like he's been gargling Jack Daniels for twice that time - you'd swear they're from the American south. Babbling banjos and gaining a big live rep right now. Just released debut album - it's pretty good. Loving 'Awake My Soul' and 'Little Lion Man' but it's strong right through the 12 tracks. Watch 'em fly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThisIsNowhere Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I listened to their myspace and these guys are fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keeprighton2 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 I listened to their myspace and these guys are fantastic. Top drawer harmonies and great tunes. They've taken a big leap last few months especially as the record is being played on places like BBC 6 Music. They're suddenly headlining The Forum in London, same venue Wilco are playing on Nov 4th. Impressive step forward. But you can hear why. Great record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 fantastic new record... i saw them last year w/ Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn and they were brilliant live too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsr8j Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 A friend of mine just introduced me to them and I've been listening/watching their stuff on YouTube. I'm looking forward to picking up their album. I get the comparison to Fleet Foxes and I also hear a little Avett Brothers in there. Next time they're near DC (which I realize might be awhile), I'll have to check them out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 they're doing a larger scale US tour in April/May i guess. hope they announce those soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pillowy star Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 We've been playing their album on our recent trip to the UK, and it's really very good. So if they're good live as well, we need to check them out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
