Bands to watch: Alms

If you cross-bred Mumford & Sons with Fleet Foxes, I imagine that Alms is what you’d get. “Mumford & Sons? Fleet Foxes?” I hear you say, “What amazing bands! Alms must be pretty good!” Well, now that you mention it, they really are.

The four-piece from West London (now based in Bristol) are one of the most interesting bands I’ve heard of late, and they’re a blogger’s dream in this respect, as I think I’m one of the first people to write about them.

Having already played Communion Bristol to roaring acclaim, you’ll next catch these wondrous folkies at The Selkirk in London. Until then, check out their MySpace page, and grab three free tracks from their Last.fm page via the links below:
