Sounds LikeHere are some handy quotes we very carefully edited in proper showbiz style to make us sound EXCELLENT:

Surly rockabilly Rupert Murdoch in thelondonpaper

Not depressing or anything. Just odd by holliy at drownedinsound.com

A terrific Fall-through-cheap-organs slinky thing by Lovely Luke Turner at playlouder.com

Fire & brimstone country preaching our mate Paul at Maps Magazine

Widescreen melodies and Spector-ish atmospherics our mates at ShotbyBothSides club night

The bastard love children of Shane McGowan and Nick Cave our mate Rob at Lobster Quadrille Magazine

mean, terse and brooding our mate Jamie Manners

The real revelation was the Low Edges; it’s been a few months since I’ve last seen them and during that time they’ve progressed from a band seemingly on the brink of being very good indeed, to actually being very good indeed. our mate Barry ’Alex’ Sarll.

the band has a raw sound that reeks of demo....good banging of instruments by some blogger we don’t know called Castrovalva

They describe themselves as Indie Rockabilly Country and at times they sound like the Stray Cats fronted by Mark E Smith (Leave The House). At times they are also the missing link between the Nightingales and the early Smiths and that’s genius Another blogger called Oafing Loaf.

Sadly, Gigwise arrives too late to catch the amazing Low Edges. In all honesty though, even if they had farted on stage and played a recorder through their collectively genius nostrils, they would receive a glowing review. Gigwise’s Emily Gosling

combining ruthless, almost rockabilly-esque guitar picking with dark hearted vocals and some strident bass and drum work they make taut, streamlined songs PowPowPow.com’s Michael Evans

   About The Low Edges
We were Darryl, James, Jen, Peter and Rachel.

We came from Shadwell in East London.

We sang songs about Spiritualists, Dead Astronauts, Charles Dickens, Amateur Boxers, Superheroes running from death, Occultists, JG Ballard, The Thames, Train Journeys and Rainham Marshes

We liked to think we sounded a bit like The Auteurs, Johnny Cash and Scott Walker.

Everyone else said we sounded like The Fall and The Violent Femmes.

We played live in London about once a month.

Venues and Nights we played at included Feeling Gloomy, Shot By Both Sides, New Pop Revolution @ Metro, Team Awesome at The Good Ship, Catch, Guided Missile, POPART at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes, Angular Disco, The Windmill, ULU, Buffalo Bar, RAW Tempel Berlin, Enzian, Zosch and some others that we have forgotten.
