What were you doing when you were sixteen?
I sat around moaning about my GCSE's or drank cider with my mates on the beach because we couldn't get any fake ID. (We've all been there - don't deny it!) My existence was somewhat fruitless - especially in comparison to the ludicrously talented foursome that is Louie, Stevie, Jack and Zach - a.k.a.: The Froot'67.
At just 16 years old, the native Hull lads have concocted a truly enthralling and captivating six track album, entitled 'Seven Past Eight'. The album is the perfect mix of powerful progressive rock and mellow psychedelic ambience, enriched by a gorgeously dark bluesy edge. Their overall sound is undeniably unique. It's a refreshing change from the mediocre rip-offs of Arctic Monkeys and 1975, that have saturated the younger independent music scene. The band draws parallels with some of the more alluring songs by The Strypes (like 'Angel Eyes') and the Cobain-esque vocals provides the sound with a rich, gritty, sexed-up vibe. The album is heightened by dynamic guitar riffs that The Black Keys would be proud of and will leave audiences with an urge to suavely dance the night away - aspiring to look a fraction of how effortlessly cool these lads are.
'Seven Past Eight' is profoundly evocative and stirring, the album unearths moods you never knew you could experience and transports you to a state of euphoric bliss. I haven't been moved by an album this much since I heard 'Dark side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd for the first time. It's no wonder the boys already have a number one in the Unsigned Rock Charts under their belt. Furthermore they're headlining a stage at The Cottingham Festival this Sunday.
If these lads don't progress to selling out huge arenas and number 1 albums, it is a heinous injustice to the music industry. They are far too talented to remain unsigned. There's big things to come for these boys and I can't wait to hear more from them.
