England’s Newest Hit Makers

The Rolling Stones

Twelve tracks of raw, high-voltage rhythm and blues. A snapshot of five young Londoners obsessively recreating American soul with a dangerous, jagged edge.

Debut

A sweaty, cramped basement energy radiates from these twelve tracks, capturing a young five-piece translating American R&B through a gray London lens. The guitars scratch and bite at the melodies, while a swinging, loose-limbed momentum keeps the rhythm section feeling more like a heartbeat than a metronome. There is a sneering, youthful arrogance here that transforms these blues standards into something remarkably immediate.

Moments Worth Waiting For
01Route 66The frantic, driving tempo of 'Route 66' establishes the record's raw, live-in-the-studio momentum right from the opening bars.
07I’m a King BeeA prominent, wailing harmonica lead on 'I’m a King Bee' serves as the track's primary melodic voice instead of a guitar solo.
