What it takes to be a truly great band hasn’t changed since the first
electric guitar chords were recorded. Even in an era when artists are made
famous from singles alone on stage is still where it really counts, meaning
a quality act must have talent well beyond the studio.

That’s certainly the case with The Nankeens. Originally members of two
separate bands, this four-man outfit in their mid-20s, led by two
brothers, hail from the same Salford as the Lads Clubs, although their indie
rock sound has no time for local heroes of days gone by. Instead the focus
is on contemporary songwriting about personal experiences, not to mention
powerful arrangements that make feet and heads move.

Combining punk's addictive hook-focus with far more epic tones, influences
ranging from The Joy Formidable and Arcade Fire to The Clash can be heard,
yet this is no re-hash. Attendees at their regular Friday night free
parties already know of their unique musical personality, not to mention
the quartet’s live abilities. Needless to say then, the group in question-
AKA singer and rhythm guitarist Adam Darby, drummer Simon Darby, bassist
Mark Barlow and lead strummer Adam Tattersall- have a particularly
promising future ahead, but unlike many faces currently competing for
attention, they already deserve it.
