Hi, we're 'The Bike Shed Effect' a four piece indie - pop band from Leicester! Since early 2009 we've been gigging around the Midlands playing with some amazing bands and making some great friends. We've been working really hard writing our 3 track EP and are hoping to have it completely finished by winter.
"Following them came The Bike Shed Effect, a similarly young four piece ensemble bursting with talent. A not dissimilar indie style of music, they gave us a contemporary sound. They have clearly studied current indie but have avoided slavishly emulating one particular band. You can hear echoes of several top bands in their set, suggesting that they have judiciously picked the best from the best and moulded it into their own work. I was impressed by the inventive hooks coming off the guitar of Rob Aldridge and the beautifully clear vocals of guitar/singer Louis Kallquist. A band with a future."

"The Bike Shed Effect are a four piece from Leicester who seem to be incredibly good at making perfectly formed indie tracks. "Stranded in Space" includes everything you need: and insanely poppy chorus surrounded by guitar that could rival bigger chart bands and catchy lyrics that stick in your mind for days on end. This is definitely a band that could move on up with their pop friendly guitars. Sounds like All American Rejects with a bit more English charm."
