LISTEN UP: Foreign Office - Leaving The House / Voices & Video
Wednesday, 31 March 2010
Written by Nigel Sachdev
London quartet the Foreign Office aren't here to dazzle you with optimism of the future or legislative change, but they could very well be the next big thing. A hard working, guitar-ploughing touring machine, the band are finally ready to release their debut double a-side 'Leaving The House'/'Voices' - out this week.
Packed with dry wit, Numan-esque, Eighties synth magic and razor-sharp guitar leads and observant vocal hooks, the Foreign Office come with a plain-speaking, straight talking story to tell. Coupled with an equally fine influence in Roxy Music, Talking Heads and hard 4-4 beats, you can dance as well as rock out to them perfectly well.
Foreign Office are Paul Cousins (Vox/Bass), George Hume (Guitar), Duncan Hillman (Keys/Vox) and James Woodley (Drums/Vox). Steadily gaining a reputation as one of the hardest gigging bands on the circuit, Foreign Office have announced a cluster of brand new dates. Catch them at the following venues in London over the next few weeks.
FOREIGN OFFICE LIVE:
March 29: This Is Playground Presents...(DJ Set) @ Proud Camden
March 31: Dirty Mac Club @ St Moritz, London
April 15: Stags Head, London
April 22: YoYo : Notting Hill Arts Club, London
