Fresh from supporting Reverend & The Makers are 1913, a four-piece band rooted in the North-West. They have a dark neo-gothical look about them, and combine spirited guitars with synthesised beats. Along with subtly applied drumbeats ably meshed together by the translucent tones of their front man.
Their sound is one of progressive rock with a dark indie undertone, which you would associate with White Lies who 1913 supported at Fac251 recently. Yet this band seem to have escaped the Oasis canopy, which is now found in so many new unsigned bands, they strive to be different and you can hear this in their latest video ‘Atlantis.’
The track plots a musical journey and with its originality as its signature hook the track achieves approval. I find it hard to believe this band are an unknown quantity, but I eagerly anticipate this will not be for long. Also, the remix of Atlantis is breathtaking and brave, in some ways bold, in that it fuses their dark rifts with an intelligent dose of techno and baseline. This should not just be a one-time thing as it really adds to the overall make-up of their work.
The boys are next playing in Oldham on the 26th of March at Oldham Castle, this venue will be an ideal size to house their euphoric music.
