The Travelling Band – Under the Pavement

  • May 25, 2009

Manchester 6 piece The Travelling Band filters psyche-folk, country and rock influences through a sunshine-pop lens, creating a debut album that bursts with energy and maturity. In Under the Pavement The Travelling Band simultaneously evokes upbeat and downtrodden emotions while conversely expressing feelings of dissatisfaction and vulnerability. The Traveling Band captures elements of 1960s Americana (a la The Byrds) and jazz with expressive lyrics and top-notch vocal harmonies. Their live shows are spirited as this collective of multi-instrumentalists interchange instruments and shift seamlessly between tender ballads, psychedelic jams and upbeat pop songs.
