LIGHT UP THE SKY! | NEW BAND TORCHES BURN BRIGHT.

Millicent Findlay let us in on the work of new London five piece Torches burning a ‘Gloom-Pop’ hole through the scene.

Torches are a London based five piece rapidly making a name for themselves on London’s music scene, having already been featured by the likes of NME and Clash amongst others. Their sound has been described as ‘gloom-pop’  and ‘industrial indie disco stomp’, featuring a heady stylistic mix including booming vocals and a fusion of guitars and electro drumbeats.   Last Thursday they played their single launch gig for Sky Blue and Ivory to a packed-out basement at London’s Sebright Arms. Their much hyped sound, combined with an compelling onstage presence from frontman Charlie Drinkwater, makes for a live experience not to be missed.
