Straylings to headline Camden Barfly show

We loved the Brit-poppy sounds of Straylings' free download track Wallpin and the band is taking to the stage of Camden's Barfly on the 14th Jan to delight North London revellers. Fancy checking out the band? Tickets can be booked here.

Their lead single Carver's Kicks lends itself to a more pensive sound - this is the band's reflective side brought to the fore. It's the chorus that is the real treat though, a full on nostalgic hit of road-movie bliss, all care-free spirit and the very essence of individualism. Dust blasted and wind-swept, it's the beauty of the wilds tamed in song format.

The band's album Entertainment On Foreign Grounds is released on the 5th March.

Straylings - Entertainment on Foreign Grounds

Quite often, in looking backwards, you find yourselves moving forwards in the best possible way.

Straylings know all about this - the pensive new London band have been turning heads with their thoughtful, hand-wrought guitar riffing, penning tracks that feel like old best friends; the ones you never tire of.

Free download Wallpin recalls mid-90s Britpop, with a great female vocal and rich, lustrous guitar line. This is rock to an older, more considered order than the brisk, frenetic energies of most new brands these days, and Straylings benefit much from this more stately approach.

Carver's Kicks continues down the same route, albeit sounding even better, pursuing a more earthy, rough sound.

A further free download, On Its Way is available from the band's Facebook page. The band's album Entertainment on Foreign Grounds is released on the 5th March.
