The British indie / alternative band from Sheffield THE SHERLOCKS are currently touring the UK (tonight at Waterfront Studio, Norwich and tomorrow night at Picturedome, Northampton.) They were recently hand-selected by The Libertines to support their arena tour.
The band consists of two sets of brothers: Kiaran Crook (on lead vocals, with guitar) Brandon Crook (on drums) Josh Davidson (on guitar) and Andy Davidson (on bass.)
The band will be travelling on to Austin Texas in March to play at the SXSW festival 2016. We wish them good luck … You can keep up-to-date with their exploits on their web site.
In the meantime, we have been listening to their new single Last Night due out 4TH MARCH —
There is a tumble of drums to start things off , then a licorice guitar that bends and crooks its back — like a teenage groover on the dance floor.
The melody is not sophisticated but wonderfully clear hearted and optimistic.
The voice is relaxing and we especially love the long coo-coo dove notes.
And running right through all this is a spark of guitar-work moved by the joy of rhythm.
It reminds us of the tinkling frankness of The Housemartins crossed with the grin and attitude of The Enemy.
