About The Long Weekend

About the band:

"The band’s brilliant new single, Record, conjures up sharply creased strides, strong tea and a pocket full of the folding stuff, and aims a broadside at people who talk the talk about quitting a small town for the big smoke, but never get there" The Sunday Times

"Breathless, tuneful stuff from Kent's finest here...Should be huge." 8/10 Teletext Planet Sound
