This is the latest in our regular look at new and unsigned bands.
Where are they from? Southampton, UK.
Who are they? JD – guitar, Jase Dog – lead guitar, Pete – drums, Neil – bass.
What do they sound like? Their electroacoustic/blues/indie billing on their Myspace page pretty much sums it up. They have that classic rock blues feel but with an indie edge that is earning them a strong local following in their native Hampshire. Among their influences are Big Bill Broonzy, Lead Belly and Blind Lemon Jefferson. They also sound a little like The Fall with their quirky lead guitar work, especially given Mark E Smith’s similar love for classic US blues.
What have they got to say for themselves? On their Myspace page they describe themselves as “Gritty Southern Bluesy rock ‘n’ roll from four Southampton locals.”
What’s their latest? Currently unsigned. Their self released first EP Miss Morgan is
available via their Myspace page.
