Stealing Sheep are like the delicate and somewhat unexpected love-child of First Aid Kit and Peggy Sue, and they’re absolutely wonderful. Debut EP ‘What If The Lights Went Out’ is the perfect introduction to this all-girl trio.
I first encountered them live when they played London event ‘A Folking Good Night‘ back in May, and I’m delighted to say that this record is just as brilliant as their sensational live performance.
Their interesting and atmospheric sound is mesmerising, creative and intelligent; the lyrics and vocals are incredibly well thought out, and the instruments …
I’ve been sitting on talking about this four-piece from Southend-on-Sea for a few weeks, hoping to get an mp3 cleared to post, and here we have two. Perfectly Fine Intellectual (video below) is Redtrack‘s fourth single to be released prior to their debut full length Whole Town’s Heart dropping on August 12th on Fandango (a previously singles-only offshoot of the wonderful Fierce Panda).

And now, celebrating their 50th single and 5 years as a label, they are releasing a double-disc compilation of 35 of their favourites.
Their story is one of musical fairytale of sneaking out of boarding school to catch gigs around London, before starting a beautifully budget …
It isn’t often that I write about my friends’ bands on here – and that isn’t that some aren’t pretty good – but more that I feel like I should be a little tougher on them to keep objective – as futile as that may be. But Fulcher, Smith and Dance (MySpace/Last.fm) tick all the right boxes so I can’t keep them to myself.
I wanted fellow TBW staffer Hamish to introduce FSD, being as he’s the bassist and all – but all I could get out of the man was this …
