‘Chancer’ is the third single from Gloria Cycles, the brilliant four piece from breezy Brighton who are one of 2009’s most exciting and intriguing bands. It’s a glorious slice of upbeat indie accompanied by intricate guitars and heavy bass. Singer Kenny McCracken’s Scottish twang all make for indie disco fodder with more than danceable beats.
The band spent most of 2008 on the road playing up and down the UK charming audiences with their snappy basslines, catchy melodies and never-ending hooks. They were asked to go on tour with Cage The Elephant and Fight Like Apes, as well as playing to 25,000 eager German music fans at Taubertal Festival. They also played unmissable sets at Great Escape, Liverpool Soundcity and Offset.
Previous singles ‘Vegas’ and ‘No Zero’s’ (released on limited coloured vinyl) grabbed the attention of key tastemakers at Radio 1 with Vegas going straight into the Top 30 of their indie chart on word of mouth alone. The band have a true DIY ethic, they make their own dazzling artwork, promote their very own club night in Brighton and also direct their own videos.
