The Rosie Taylor Project


After posting our British Bands popcast on my lastfm journal, i received a comment from someone saying i would probably like The Rosie Taylor Project too.

I had a listen to their four songs available on Lastfm and also their myspace page, and 100% agree they are ace!

Had we heard of them before, they would definitely have been included in the popcast, writing some super sweet indie-pop folk, in a similar vein to Monkey Swallows The Universe.

Hailing from Leeds, but inhabiting a dreamy world of twee americana, this five piece group have an upcoming single on Bad Sneakers records and also a video to check out on their myspace.

Unfortunately their myspace downloads arent working, although they have a note on their myspace to email them to get send mp3s or a cdr of their demo tracks. True to their word, i just received the four track demo, "Scotland Sketches EP" in the mail this morning, which i've had on repeat for the past hour, basking in their warm sunny glow!

I have found one download online over http://microsites.nme.com/radarmp3s/From_The_Crowd.mp3

Hmm, hope they make it down for a London show soon!
