Symphonic pop.....Hmmmm? You decide, we don't have your ears!
New single YOU DO SOMETHING available now on itunes store.
Though none of the members of The 1,2,3,4s grew up in Manchester they all consider it as their home town and have been playing as this line up for barely a year. Singer Caroline Thorp, bass player Neil Dallow and drummer Andrew Hodson formed The 1,2,3,4s as an offshoot trio of The Matinee Orchestra in 2007 with the addition of guitar player Mike TV joining the band and sealing the sound in 2008. A passion for Led Zeppelin, Film sound track strings and raw soul, the musical glue of the foursome stuck and The 1,2,3,4s were complete.
The band write together and practice in Manchester where at the moment they regularly play key venues and do the odd radio session. Taking influence from decades of soul, rock, psyche and pop The 1,2,3,4s love making music and playing it to unsuspecting gig goers!
Currently working on their debut album - Summer 2010 release

"blending low-level hip-hop beats with Scorn-esque bass and elonated guitar riffs to remarkable effect. . . it's that awesome. . . the music is superb, the artwork and packaging equally good. . . [it's] warped shuffling genius. 300% necro, foo'! (5/5)" (Zero Tolerance magazine).
