    Spark 'Lemonade' Single Review

    Spark ‘Lemonade’ Single Review

    Let’s aim straight for the bullseye. I just love the way this tune starts with a can being opened and someone slurping down a drink – presumably lemonade. But don’t be caught out by such a jokey start, as this is a really well thought out production to a quirky off beat composition. And well worth play-list rotation. The whole enterprise works so well, from the arch lyrics, the louche laid back delivery of front…

    The Long Finger Bandits’ New Single ‘Black Delilah’ is a Haunting Cabaret

    Sometimes bands can’t be neatly packaged into a certain genre of music, and this couldn’t be truer for Long Finger Bandits. Switching from mellow folk and enchanting gypsy sounds to a boisterous jazz percussion and a dabble of punk, all in a dizzying whirl, the five-piece seems to be without musical limits. They are no strangers to testing boundaries and dipping their toes into different waters. After a series of live performances over the past…
