'Two strong vocals, badass drums and rhythmic breakdowns. 5 out of 5 for musical talent. (Willy Mason)

'Some of their stuff is urgent, groovy indie, some of it is rolling, big, tuneful but angry music, and some of it, creeping, atmospheric, almost soundscapey emotional indie. The singer's voice is really strong and has a lush tendency to go all high halfway through word, which makes something drop in my gut when I listen.' (Marsha Shandur, XFM London)

'If John (Peel) was alive today, I'd be on the phone to him right now about you guys.' (Sparrow Harrison)

coming soon. promise.

the NCM room	Jun 1 2008 8:02 AM NCM.... THOSE DANCING DAYS JOHN and JEHN + THE RESEARCH TUESDAY JUNE 3rd @ BRUDENELL SOCIAL CLUB Tickets: £6 Doors: 7.30pm Tickets from: Jumbo Records, Crash Records and The Brudenell as well as See Tickets: http://www.seetickets.com/s.asp?a=those+dancing+days+%2B+support&p=6312 http://www.myspace.com/thosedancingdays Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too! The subtle dynamics in their songwriting of JOHN and JEHN and the balance between chaos and beauty and the mastery of heartbreaking melodies Expect beautifully skewed hymns in the key of Serge Gainsbourg. http://www.myspace.com/johnjehn Wakefield's THE RESEARCH are makers of fun, but also write songs that are like punches in the stomach that knock the wind out of you but afterwards you agree that you feel much better for it. www.myspace.com/theresearch
Sad Little Crocodile snap snap	Jun 1 2008 4:43 AM Yeah, it's shit when that happens. It's a shame though as you were miles better than the rest of the bands that played that stupidly hot room!
