Kevin Tuffy is a recently-turned-23-years-old-London-Irish-singer-songwriter, who writes prose and poetry about stuff like love, lust, god, his favourite food groups, books, records, movies and that-kind-of-thing. His band help him put music to his stories. They like rock bands & singers like Pavement, Modest Mouse, Death Cab For Cutie, Broken Social Scene, Mogwai, Bright Eyes, Wilco, Tom Waits, Silver Jews, Bob Dylan and the Band, Frightened Rabbit and that kind of thing. They like to sit around drinking whiskey and discussing Vonnegut, Joyce, Woolf, Bukowski and Nabokov and chain-smoking when they're not recording their debut album which is coming out in 2010. They will be playing songs from it at a special show on the 5th December at The Borderline...

= REVIEWS =
With an entire generation of new songwriters uncaring about traditional musical pigeon holes, we have music that proudly swings from mosh pit to dancefloor to backroom of folkie pub and still sounds mighty fine. Here aspirant Londoner Tuffy wields a banjo and harmonica on one track and has grime MC Sway guesting on another. Not only does he get away with it, he proves himself a creditable songwriter on this all too brief EP.
His tangled lyrical tumble evokes thoughts of Mike Skinner before he got distracted and bored and Alex Turner minus the smugness. There’s a sweet domestic turn to the scenes he carves out but you get the feeling from Tuffy’s fondness for a laconic melody that he’s just a dreamer at heart. Let’s hope for more. Soon.
