The Poppycocks - Lovebirds

The Poppycocks are a new four piece Brighton based band. This single has been out for a couple of months on Drift Records. The 'A' side on this 7" is 'Lovebirds' and it's a charming piece of indiepop recalling yesteryear at every turn. I can hear echoes of Lloyd Cole, Belle and Sebastian and early era Creation Records. That's fairly high praise for a new band. It's deserved. This is an enchanting little single. The 'B' side is called 'Tender Hooks' and while not as instant and or as catchy as the 'A' side - it's still a well crafted little pop song and gets a hearty thumbs up from me.I think I've found a band that could fit in the category 'ones to watch'. And if you did get the urge to see them they have a few gigs lined up - including one this evening in London. Here are the full details:
25th August - Fox and Firken, Lewisham, London.
11th September - Metro Club, London
26th September - The Hope, Brighton
28th September - Joogleberry, Brighton
The band have also made a video for 'Loverbirds'
