Now cheeky Beatles pop fantasists THE BISHOPS with Breakaway on 1-2-3-4 Records. Sounding not a sweet as I remember the lads have goner all raucous and rocky. Maybe the touring road has toughened them up with Western guitar action and sounding more like a The Coral .... ahhh B side has gone back to the early Beatles comfort Zone.... swing that hair. Phil likes it and says a bit like XTC. (think he means the band)

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The Bishops return with this gritty, hard edged single taken from their hotly anticipated eponymous debut album.Liam Watson (The White Stripes producer) and his analogue studio Toe Rag once again produces a record that is razor sharp and replete with energy.Yet The Bishops go far beyond any 60s comparisons through their ability to create an intelligent, contemporary sound which draws upon a range of classic influences whilst still creating something new, original and exciting.Armed with addictive melodies, compulsive rhythms and particularly alluring suits, The Bishops are rightfully carving their own unique place in the modern indie spectrum. If 2007 continues as the previous year, the band’s ascension toward indie prominence will be swift. The Bishops are playing dates in February, a UK club tour in March, and a full UK tour in April.“Timeless melodies from the golden era of pop – who says they don’t make ‘em like they used to?” – NME.
