“THESE WESTCOUNTRY BOYS OFFER DEVASTATINGLY HEARTFELT SHIMMER-POP AND HOOKS YOU COULD HANG A PICTURE OF THE KILLERS ON”
NME
‘The Locarnos are as tight, polished and assured as old pros. New song ‘Love Me Like They Do At Home' has got “A-playlist” written all over its evocative, melancholic verse and arms-in-the-air chorus.'
Helen Sloan, Venue Magazine
‘If you've been touched by bands such as The Stills, The Cure, The Killers, and the like, then Jeeeees-us go and see this band. Their music is beautifully melancholic and their songs contain the kind of chorus' that you'd recite if you had just been dumped heavily or embraced tenderly.'
Johnathan Montelongo, www.live-music-scene.co.uk
The Locarnos are a four piece Rock/Pop band from the South West. The band emit a sound that has been described as a mix up the classic song-writing of Bowie with the attitude of The Strokes and the adventurousness of Bloc Party, without any of the irritating wackiness that goes with so many of today's fame-hungry ‘Indie' pop stars.
The unique, melodic style of front man Josh Brooksbank is fused with a wave of energetic guitar hooks, heart-pounding baselines and thundering drums has left audiences all over the country already dazzled with the band's performances.
The Locarnos are fast establishing themselves as one of England's premier live acts, with high profile gigs such as Glastonbury Festival and support slots and tours with big selling artists The Cribs, Glasvegas and The Holloways.
This summer, ‘Don't Give Me a Hard Time', which was recorded at Sawmills in 2008, will be featured in the movie ‘The Post Grad Survival Guide', starring Alexis Bledel (The Gilmore Girls/Sin City) and Michael Keaton (Batman).
