I heard The Travellers on Myspace after they sent me a link. We get sent so many we don't listen to them all but some we do hear! Anyway I thought they were pretty good and we got their CD EP in called Blue EP and you'll be pleased to know the artwork does have blue on it. You'd be amazed how many bands don't get the colours right... Textbook mistake. I think they're Swedish... And you know how much the Swedes like their indie pop.... Well the EP shows shades of The Sundays, Catatonia, The Smiths, Icicle Works, Cocteaus, Siouxsie.... In fact it's very much an amalgamation of loads of great indie bands from that era (ie the ones listed and probably a lot more) and they sound pretty competent at it as well. The singers voice occasionally reminds me of Kristin Hersh. It's a solid little EP! CD only tho!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
