DESPERATE JOURNALIST

"Intense and shimmering post-punk"

(Time Out)

"powerful guitar pop that hits like the Smiths amped up to Savages’ intensity level." (Stereogum)



The acclaimed London post-punk four piece return to Reading to play songs off their recent record Grow Up (Fierce Panda records).



+ ADAM & ELVIS

“Big Pixies-sized singalongs and subversive choruses which threaten to match the early charm of The Teardrop Explodes” - ARTROCKER



At the core of the band are the Malone brothers, Pat and Tom who construct songs that are equally as melodic as they are whacky. Sharp guitars, highly driven bass lines and synthesizers are their tools and combined with lyricist Pat’s love for comedy and horror, much like his heroes Leonard Cohen and Bukowski, ADAM & ELVIS deliver great blend of fast paced, thought provoking and ultimately catchy music.



The band are releasing their debut album on September 30th.
