Artist of the Week: Slow Club

Posted by Robert.Maddrey On August - 16 - 2011

Something a little different this week; the UK band Slow Club. Comprised of Sheffield, England natives Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor this uniquely mellow and decidedly understated band
possesses a whimsically haunting harmony that belies their alternative folk oriented sound and pays homage so many great folk artists who have come before.

The Steelwells - Shallow On the Draft

Described by Rolling Stone Magazine as “Big, dreamy pop from SoCal guitar romantics,” The Steelwells are indeed something of an anomalous band;  a cross between more traditional “indie” artists and louder more mainstream alternative acts.
