Am I going to find a more sweeter version of the indie pop variety this year than The Sweethearts? To be honest i'm not sure but in the meantime the candy tinged tunes of this Cumbrian three piece will do for me.The instruments used can give you a clue of the bands creativity alone. Choose from a banjo, ukulele and various toy instruments and you may get some idea. These instruments are used to great effect on the stunning Into The Woods accompanying the fine vocals from bass player/singer Amy. The other songs are just as good and you will be dipping into this box of treats time and time again. The band have had one digital release on Dogbox Records and judging by their blog there is more in the pipeline.
Forget the rain - listen to a piece of summer!
The Sweethearts - Into The Woods
The Sweethearts - Blue Skies
Judging by the photographs some of this lot still seem to be at school. I wish I persisted with my flute and erm, the steel band lessons!
they are just pretending to be all cute and child like, I nearly know the truth...
lovely band, sweet sweet songs but fun too!
Joe (wearing glasses) also plays bass in The Lodger (www.myspace.com/thelodgerleeds). Their songs make me happy, too.
Ahh. So my initial theory that they are just perverts could be true! Didn't know about the Lodger link so thanks for that!
The Lodger is fantastic. I listen them all the time.
Adorable adorable!
