Jim Lockey & the Solemn Sun set to return to Hare & Hounds

Very pleased to announce that Jim Lockey & the Solemn Sun will be returning to the Hare & Hounds!

Hotly tipped Cheltenham quartet Jim Lockey & the Solemn Sun deliver their blend of Alt. County/Rock with the passion and vigour of the greats. The band recently signed to Xtra Mile Recordings and have been championed by label mate Frank Turner. Named as one of NME’s ‘bands to watch’, they have performed at SXSW Festival and released their eagerly awaited follow up to 2010’s‘Atlases’ to critical acclaim.

Their Xtra Mile debut ‘Death’, is a passionate, poetic and engaging album making them one of the most exciting new bands in British music. Produced by Peter Miles (King Blues, Crazy Arm, Futures), it encapsulates the band’s vast sound, as the young quartet draw from a plethora of influences including Alt. Country, Folk and Hardcore Punk. Showcasing their incredible storytelling talent,‘Death’ takes listeners on a journey with soaring tracks such as ‘Everything And The Heart’ and ‘New Natives’, sitting elegantly with more stark songs like ‘Our Fathers’ which bring Jim’s incredible voice and lyrics to the fore.
