Influences
Miles Davis to Fugazi and back again. We tend to pass all our influences through the genre of folk tinged indie rock, but being English the idea of putting ourselves into a genre in the first place makes us want to tear our man flesh suits off, but that’s not your fault. Some have said we make a sweet spine tingling kind of noise while others say we are "quietly seething." Some even say we rock like monkeys! Here’s what we say..... You decide.
Sounds Like
We sound a bit like a cowboy from the old west in the streets of 21st century London who is being forced at gun point by his own shadow to confess his hopes and fears into an old tape recorder for uses unknown, with lots of guitars, beats and harmonies ricocheting off the concrete canyons all around....
At our core we are a music making / song writing duo more than a little
obsessed with guitars, however we like to play with other people and
our band: Rob, Ed and L'il Phil have been in the frame for a long
time.
We have a crazy lovely fan base who keep us in business and we
feel like our best is just ahead of us - like a giant golden carrot
leading us on and on, down a road, across a field and into a brown
sack.... They will have to kill us to stop us.
c r a s h -'The Amazing' released 07-11-09 taken from:
' c r a s h - Themes For Life Vol. 2 '
This latest track should be enjoyed loud and at the end of the day preferably between two high quality speakers in the open air on top of a mountain...
'One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching'
Excellent mix of sounds, styles, embraces some pretty nice steady rhythmical music wrapped around some interesting sweet laid back vocals. I was listening to the title track "Painkiller". Great tune. Nice tune and great harmonies and everything actually. I also liked "Full of stars" especially the way it came in from the intro. Again the dynamic voice and this time with the sweet backing of the band and melodic piano. Great bio. The influences are interesting as well. Well written.
