New Band - Eagulls

Post by IamCoop »

Anyone heard of this group? They're from Leeds I believe, I reckon some people on here might enjoy them. They're quite spiky punk/new wave sounding, and the bass work at times has shades of Burnel.. When I first got their record I was a bit disappointed - it initially sounds a little one paced and samey, but a few weeks down the line and I can't stop listening to it. It makes for quite abrasive and agitated listening at times but there are hooks in there that once lodged, I can't get rid of.

Two of my favourite tracks;

Yellow Eyes

Hollow Visions

They're getting quite a lot of attention from the NME etc at the moment which makes a change from the usual indie shit they peddle.

Oh and they're fucking fearsome live.

Check them out.

Mentioned them on here a couple of months back - Some of their recent stuff sounds VERY Killing Joke IMO

Not too shabby
