One To Watch :: Totem
New Moshi Moshi signings Totem make their debut on September 23 with the single release 'See-Saw Girl'.
The trio from West London play melodic alt-punk-pop, with fizzy guitars and a restless drumbeat. ‘See-Saw Girl’ and B-sider ‘House Guest’, touch on the band's pop-punk roots. Yet although intricately layered ‘See-Saw Girl' is wholly immersible with its call and response vocals and toe-tapping sensibilities.
Heralding a statement of intent from Totem, ‘See-Saw Girl’ acts as the perfect introduction to the band, encapsulating their wild, cacophonous energy behind them.
Drenge aren’t the only band to get political backing, Totem’s local MP for Hammersmith and Fulham Andy Slaughter has described them as “the best band in West London”, and with their debut single they will be looking for further support from other MP’s and citizens across the country.
Totem are: Toby Burroughs – Vocals/drums; Todd Timney-Fowler – guitar, vocals; Luke Forbes-Adam - bass
Totem play The Lexington, London, on September 19 (supporting Crushed Beaks), and September 26 at Total Refreshment Centre (Single Launch Party), London.
