New York Tourists

With the propulsive freneticism of the likes of FOALS with the grace and pop sensibilities of bands such as Friendly Fires , Blackburn-based four-piece New York Tourists have managed to deftly balance both energy and aggression, and in doing so have created an idiosyncratic brand of indie pop that’s impossible to ignore.
Such is their appeal, that the band’s recent single ‘Feels so good’ has received raving reviews which led to the band most recently supporting Kaiser Chiefs in May.
Now however, New York Tourists are looking to the future. New single ‘Skinny dipping’ builds on the band’s familiar freneticism while effortlessly combining a more understated side of the band with a bombastic urgency that could only come from a band on the cusp of bigger things.
