LASTING DAYS
“The Lasting Days have already developed a sturdy reputation for their well-crafted brand of melancholic indie/folk and electrically charged live performances… their first CD, an eponymous 5-track EP, successfully capers around several musical modes, from rambunctious knees-ups to heartfelt piano ballads”
-Suit Yourself magazine

COUNTER POINTS

THE TALKS
With the stench of a decayed fishing industry looming over the less popular end of the M62; in a city where “nothing ever happens” voted the “grimmest place to live in the UK”, an inspiring scene was bustling under a movement of deprived musicians. Out of this highly underrated and undiscovered creative melting pot, The Talks emerged in the summer of 2006. Since then, they have been at the forefront of the city’s music scene, selling out shows with their unique bass driven, reggae/punk influenced sound.
With debut single ‘Picture This’ selling out in the shops during its first week, achieving playlists on radio stations and in clubs nationally, check out their follow-up single, ‘Killer Sinner’ on their www and youtube.
