"Already championed by the likes of Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson due to their gloriously unpredictable live show, Hoodlums issue a statement of intent with the June 13th release of their debut single 'Landmarks' via Blow The Whistle Recordings . Originating from Southend, the London based band first attracted attention when they were invited to open for Suede on the Britpop kings' intimate comeback shows at London's 100 Club and The Ritz in Manchester. From there Hoodlums attacked the summer festival circuit with relish, performing at the 2010 Hop Farm Festival, three sets at Secret Garden Party and [...]

Found on the pioneering Strummerville website's roster of new bands , Southend duo The Welcome Committee bring a plaintive, philosophical rock to the party, a leaf-falling, tourists-gone-for-the-season sound appropriate in these times of pavement-skating and blizzards. It's a bit gritty, a bit bitty and a quite a lot pretty. Shut the curtains, put on five jumpers and your thickest wool socks, warm up some tomato soup and hole up under that duvet...

'The Trier' is the second single to be lifted from their debut album 'Whole Town's Heart' which was released on the 13th September and was also Label Fandango's first album release. These local lads from Southend in Essex are just getting so much slicker.

Grab the debut album, we`ve been making noise about Redtrack for what seems like ages now - Well worth a [...]
