Indie Modsters - Debut Single

Indie mod-sters head out of Sheffield with thier Debut single.

Yep that's right. Part of It is the debut single from Sheffield Newest indie Mod- sters Ashby.

Emerging from the devistated South Yorkshire Mining Communitie,s the cast off children of Thatchers revolution, are answering back, in the only way available to them - through music.

Formed in 2011 the band have taken their time to develope their sound and have been hard at work on the northern indie rock scene, being voted 'Best Band of 2012' by the legendary Stone Roses Venue in York..

"We were brought up listening to the indie sounds of Sheffield and Manchester and have really taken that as a starting point butwe have introduced our own vibes" Says Lead Vocalist and Guitarist Ashley Mitchell.

The Rest of the band consist of Levi Hand (Lead Guitar), Jack Law (Bass Guitar) and Greg Mason (Drums). They have been touring Yorkshire and have played in many venues including Headlining at the o2 Academy Sheffield and The Stone Roses York,

They have recently written and recorded some new songs which they are ready to unlease, 'Part of It' is the Debut single.

“LET’S HAVE IT”

Sly Dog have just unleashed their new EP ‘The Future’s Ours’, and this Hertfordshire 5 piece have nailed their Brit Pop flag well and truly to the mast. Taking their cue from Oasis in their mid 90s pomp, Sly Dog have brought their own brand of hedonistic rock n roll to the fore, and this music brims with aspirational exuberance. The title to this EP niftily sums up what Sly Dog are about, and that is making positive feel good music that does indeed look back to those halcyon days of Brit Pop swagger, but also bringing it into the present day in their own inimitable way.

Sly Dog have a broad canvas in terms of musical influences, and they openly admit to their love of the Stone Roses, The Jam, The Rolling Stones and The Who. There is also plenty of Soul in the shape of the Supremes and Marvin Gaye thrown in for good measure. Who can blame Sly Dog for being influenced by some of the best music ever recorded, and filtering these influences into something that is uniquely their own.

‘The Future’s Ours’ is an EP that showcases Sly Dog’s potential and it also reveals their love of Oasis in their heyday. Songs like ‘Faith in me’ and ‘Shadows’ highlight a debt to the ‘Definitely Maybe’ period. The opening bars and the thick guitar sound of ‘Shadows’ will remind those of a certain vintage of the Psychedelically tinged ‘Shakemaker’. Oasis have never been able to disguise their influences, and I think Sly Dog are more than happy to wear their influences on their shirt sleeves. This is not necessarily a bad thing as Sly Dog are making music for people to sing along to as opposed to rubbing your chin with your feet up trying to work out the intricacies of a 25 minute Prog Rock Opus.

Originality is an over used word and pop music has always fed on itself, and it’s what a band does with their influences that matter. Sly Dog are young and do not lack confidence, which is very important when you want your music to be heard, at a time when it seems harder than ever to get your music across in an age where the pleasure of discovering a band and listening to an album has been altered by the inconvenience of I-Tunes and the delete button culture that the internet has spawned. Sly Dog at least have bucked that trend with a UK tour around England in the summer, which reveals that this band is prepared to work hard and slug it out when it matters. Sly Dog have a keen appreciation of great music, and as artists they will surely want to push and explore their sound even further, as all great bands inevitably do.

haha it's so funny when UK bands talk about the "grind" of touring

it's not exactly Get In The Van, is it?

pretty sure that's why so few UK bands manage to break the states. didn't oasis split up on their first big US tour? and yet their support group screaming trees kept on trucking even though lanegan was busted for crack possession. not to be a macho douchebag, but THAT'S how you rock and roll.

The band describes themselves as having a very raw and original sound, it’s a sound that mimics the 1960s, with a very ‘Quadraphenia’ feel. They take influence from a range of different bands, including The Beatles, Oasis and Kasabian.

“You couldn’t listen to us and label us to sounding like a particular band, but to describe our music to someone who hasn’t heard us before then it would be a cake of three ingredients, Arctic Monkeys, The Jam, The Libertines, with a few extras.”

everyone has the worst hair ever

Blending a mix of driving guitars and heavy drumbeats with dreamy riffs and anthemic melodies, Kartica achieve a roaring guitar sound with echoes of Oasis, The Verve, Ocean Colour Scene and The Stone Roses.[1] They were described by NME magazine as "Solid Sheffield indie rock"

Check out the lads

Kartica are at a Pigeon Detectives level visually

"Solid Sheffield indie rock"

this is one step down from "a band that exists"

p. sure i know which one is kartica's drummer

Sly Dog's PR (or whichever of them wrote it) could do with being a bit less defensive

i appreciate these lads' stubborn refusal to kow tow to pop orthodoxy and current trends. these guys are like 21st century teddy boys.
