smallgang
smallgang are a London based distorto-pop quartet that mix the best bits of Dinosaur Jr, Smog and Joy Division
As Heard On:
BBC 6music - Gideon Coe Lauren Laverne Tom Robinson
XFM - X-Posure with John Kennedy
Artrocker: "deceptively deadpan songs often mutate into noisy but controlled thrashing. (Cockpit) is a particularly fine tune."
God Is In The TV: "certain clockwork precision, howls of guitar noise over angular melodies, with two vocalists lending either an arch-Neil Hannon vibe on songs like Cockpit or a touch of Ian Curtis on others. "
The Line Of Best Fit: "Great record"
Time Out: "Stylish art rockers "
