The Collectable Few - Half The Night

The Collectable Few was born in West London in 2008. United by a love of 80s pop records and fuzzy US guitar bands, the four-piece create infectious sun-fuelled pop songs with multi-layered melodies and dance-worthy beats.

The band have spent the past months honing their exhilirating live show which displays the bands blissed-out, energetic style in its clearest form. Singer Tarek Al-Shammaa is a ball-of-energy front man whose soulful tone casually ties the songs together with light and simple melodies that feel familiar after only a few listens.

The songs are characterised by heavy four-on-the-floor kick-drum beats punctuated by carnival style rhythms, combined with robotic bass lines, warm synths and guitar lines which veer from summery chimes to huge soulful riffs.

Debut EP 'Half The Night' is a four track introduction to the band which includes the brand new songs 'Promises', 'Planes', 'Half The Night' and a sparse, hypnotic reworking of The Cure's 'In Between Days'.
