Leeds' Bad Sneakers latest offering is by Tigers That Talked who on '23 Fears' do that whole epic impassioned indie pop/rock thing with yearning lyrics and dramatic post rock guitars building & diving, those trademark pretty underlying twinkles merging with Go Team!/Los Campesinos chanting/handclaps. It's a nice tune, if somewhat unmemorable. Sure there's a violin under there somewhere too. So maybe a cross between Shady Bard & Manchester's Spokes on the sonic front maybe?

Debut release from exciting new Leeds based four-piece. Limited edition 7” vinyl
released on Bad Sneakers (The Sugars, The Lodger, Rosie Taylor Project, Middleman).

Debut official release from Tigers That Talked following a series
of DIY self-released EPs.
· A powerful, exciting and original new British band with a loyal
fanbase, and hints of The Cure, Arcade Fire, Elbow and Ryan
Adams whilst influenced by the filmic elegance of Ennio
Morricone.

Detectives, Cribs, The Sugars), and B-side ‘I Am Nothing’ is
