Coming together from across the UK, Brighton-based are a four-piece band going against the genre norms. Fusing together catchy indie and surf psych melodies, with sarcastic, socially aware lyrics, they dropped tueir debut single, ‘Surf N Turf’, last week.
Who are you?
Hey, I'm Chloe I am the main singer and rhythm guitarist in the band. We also have Tippi on bass, Annabel on drums and Leila on lead guitar.
Tell us something about yourself and how you came to be where you are today.
Well, we all grew up pretty much spread out across the country (spanning from Scotland to Surrey). We first met at 16 at music college and all became best pals pretty quick, the music then naturally followed when hanging out and the band was formed shortly after meeting. We now all go to uni in Brighton and are enjoying the sea air.
Give us an idea of your musical style and influences.
Our musical influences as a band could go on forever but to give you an idea they include the likes of Courtney Barnett, FEET, Squid and Sports Team. There are so many great new bands coming up at the minute; it's exciting to start being a part of the indie scene in the south!
Explain the production and writing process behind your songs.
As individual members we all value having a part in the writing process, so a song usually begins with one of us presenting an idea to the rest and then we begin piecing it together as a collective. In terms of production, we make demos of all our tracks in our bedrooms and when recording we just want to be apart of the full process so we also get super involved in the studio.
Tell us a little about your single.
'Surf n Turf' is meant to be a fun tune to just have a dance too. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves for our debut track to be perfect, and this was the first track we've ever felt could do us justice as a debut release. As for the meaning, we somewhat like the meanings of songs to be unique for individual listeners, so have a listen and see what you think it means.
Can we catch up with you at any forthcoming live shows?
For sure. We have shows on the
8th March at Lion and Coffee Records in London for International Womens Day. Then on 3rd April we are supporting Ralph TV at the Hope and Ruin in Brighton, and on 28th April supporting FUR at the Prince Albert in Brighton. We then support Jemma Freeman and the Cosmic Something at The Finsbury in London on 8th May.
How's the first year of the new decade looking, plans-wise?
This year is all about releasing and writing music for us. Over the next few months we will be releasing more music and writing loads of tunes.
Where can we hear more of your music?
We are on Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Apple Music and YouTube with the single. But at the moment the only other place you can hear more of our songs is to come to one of our upcoming shows so .... see ya there!
