It maybe be hard to believe but this band is not from England, but rather Columbus, Ohio. They are scheduled for the Red Rocks, MobFest , PopMontreal festivals and there’s a Monolith spot is in the works. They recorded their first EP with J.P BOWERSOCK, who is simply known by THE STROKES as “the guru.” Their music definitely has hints of that New York rock swagger with heavy British influences ranging from THE STONE ROSES to THE SMITHS. They were also recently featured in URB magazine’s “Next 1000” competition and are slated for a feature in the UK magazine Music Mart magazine with a two-page photo/feature spread. They’ve already been called “a must see up and coming band” by Time Out New York and their last show at the Trash Bar in Brooklyn was touted by The New York Daily News as “...one of the hottest shows in NYC” during the same week as performances by Interpol, New Model Army, and Social Distortion. They opened for the EDITORS, THE REDWALLS, SHOUT OUT LOUDS, KINGS OF LEON and many, many more. Check them out online at:
