Troubadours: 'Gimme Love' (Mod Art Sounds) Just as the nights are drawing in and the clocks go back again, these mop-top popsters decide to provide us with some breezy summertime themed pop. The sound is all jangly and upbeat with vocals to the fore, naive and innocent in it's approach but carefully crafted and carried off with great aplomb. Not exactly breaking any new ground, this retro fixated brand of pop-not that dissimilar to The Coral-has a bold simplicity that has 'classic' and 'inspired' written all over it. Judging by the pre-orders we've had for this it could be huge. A possible tip for the top sez Mr Phil. You heard it her first...fans of the LA's and North West Coast (of England) pop, take head.On 7" vinyl and CD.

What the label says:

It’s a marriage made in guitar pop heaven. Take The Troubadours - a gang of four early 20’s Wigan and Liverpool lads who’ve been rapidly building a reputation as one of the north west’s most exciting new bands.
Put them together with esteemed producer John Leckie, famed for his work with the likes of the Stone Roses,
Radiohead and Pink Floyd amongst many others, and the first results are ’Gimme Love - a soaring, shimmering debut single that manages to channel the band’s love of Beefheart, Love and The Seeds and the best bits of their hometown’s tune-rich musical heritage into four minutes of perfect pop.
The Troubadours are: Mark Frith - vocals, guitar, piano, harmonica; Johnny Molyneux - lead guitar; Tony Ferguson - bass; Nathan Watts - drums
7" Limited to 500, CD limited to 1000.

TRACKLIST:
7" - Gimme Love (Radio Edit) , Here Comes The Tide.
CD - Gimme Love (Radio Edit) , Here Comes The Tide, Gimme Love (Long Version)

About the humble CD single:

Another digital format and even though they can hold 80 minutes of information (like a CD album would) record companies only fill up a small portion of the disc. Sometimes only 1 or 2 tracks on there totalling 5 minutes or so. It's like going to a restaurant and getting a plate of food with 2 green beans on and wondering where the rest of your meal is. Sometimes they're lovingly packaged though and when the music is good then you're into a winner. Also you get videos on there sometimes which you can watch on your computer. That is excellent.
