Duke and the Darlings

Manchester indie pop lot, who keep on selling out gigs...in breweries... Bookish and hookish, each song is structured like classic pop, with big melodies and catchy refrains, but the guitar play and unconventional phrasings will catch the ears of those who like to stand at the back and nod. Latest double A-side recorded at Abbey Road Studios. “The record companies are missing out here. They should be banging the door down -they are just that good.” ilovemanchester.com "intelligent, well-read clever lyrics to go with the substantial hookage" smirkingmirror.blogspot "superb musicianship and superior songwriting permeates throughout" surroundedby.co.uk "pure indie grooves and the clever lyricism" Bitter Sweet Symphonies "high-energy indie with an old-fashioned charm that carries their guitar-led songs and leaves you with an infectious grin on your face." showmesomethingdifferent.com Alternative Pop https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/irwellian-ep/id849568887
