The Features / Kassidy / Goodnight Lenin
The first artist signed to Kings Of Leon’s very own label is fellow Tennessee brethren The Features, a band with a decade of songs and touring experience. Longtime supporters of The Features, Kings Of Leon previously toured the UK and US with the band in 2007. This promises to be a show you simply cannot afford to miss!
MOJO 4 stars – Cracking debut from Tennessee pop mavericks. They certainly have an armoury fit to attack the mainstream. An amp-popping live show and a catalogue of songs that at once recall the Pixies and Blurs post Pavement fixation.”
The Guardian – A dazzling romp through Buzzcocks-like spiky pop and agitated soul reminiscent of the Animals. Powerful and poignant, The Features are difficult to ignore.
RockSound – What a ridiculously promising album The Features debut looks set to be. Leave It All Behind is a stomping anthem that should break them into the big time and see them bandied around in conversations about The Killers and Kings of Leon.
The Times – Brilliant. 4 stars
NME – 8 of 10 stars
Q Q Recommends – 4 stars
Kassidy – Following on from their debut limited edition release “Night In The Box” on King Tuts Records, Kassidy, the four piece in the shape of Hamish, Barrie, Chris & Lewis are setting out on a UK tour in support of their imminent release “The Rubbergum E.P.” out on February 8th on Vertigo Records. The E.P. consists of 6 of the bands original recordings made at the Rubbergum studio in Glasgow and is the first introduction proper of their extraordinary brand of music.
Goodnight Lenin – As the era of past outings ended we ventured into the forest to say goodnight to the pasture of our youth. The following winter was harsh and volatile alas we didn’t dare return to the forest. It eventually passed as did the spring and we woke to the scent of summer resting on our senses. We gathered our thoughts and stepped outside of the darkened room leaving our past triumphs to collect dust. With satchels in tow we climbed the hill which we had once walked to find the path we wished to travel….. As we moved the earth to reveal the red brick we could see that the path was littered with words and notes which we collected and hurled into our satchels as we made a dash for the forest. We entered the grave yard, dragged our instruments from the ground and began to play.
