The Band
..
"A loose combination of the quaint lyrical tone of Fionn Regan and charming scruffiness of Beirut's instrumental arrangements, Stokes, William enjoy increasing success on the London, Cardiff and Bristol circuits. Nursed into the limelight via Communion, a London club night and label (coordinated by Mumford & Son's Ben Lovett and producer Ian Grimble), the band has blossomed into a formidable six-piece folk armada."
"With as much genius as Johnny Flynn... intelligent lyrics intertwined with intricate yet catchy melodies that you can’t help but play over and over."
"It felt like a party on stage... A band for the people for sure, for the next generation of folkies."
