The result is a high energy, expressive and intricate sound that has seen the band covered by Earmilk, New Noise Magazine and Psychedelic Baby Magazine, and establish themselves on London's rock scene playing packed out shows at venues including Camden Assembly and O2 Academy Islington.

BAND ANNOUNCEMENT

ANOTHER DAY strike head on with their high energy, hook-ridden rock ’n’ roll, fusing the pop melodies of 90’s Britpop, 60’s British Invasion and early Weezer with the instrumental punch and rawness of The Libertines and the 70’s punk movement.

There's a real energy surrounding the boys, and crowds too, as they pack out their monthly self promoted band nights in Camden and Carl Barat’s Justines in Margate.

They’re a young, but a seriously well put together outfit, displaying a maturity of song writing and musicianship well beyond their years and delivered best through their hectic schedule of blistering live shows.

Captivating front man, singer and guitarist Louis, is backed by the bullet proof rhythm section of brother Jonte on bass and Harley on drums, which kicks fourth cousin Charlie‘s scorching lead guitar eagerly to the forefront.

They look sharp, sound great and their belief is palpable... coming at you like the rumble of an approaching storm.

Catch them headline the Ramsgate Music Hall on Saturday the 17th Feb!
