Allo Darlin'

Description

Allo Darlin'
Allo Darlin' are many things. They can turn a room in a famous punk venue into a joyous, jumping, sweaty, pop-mosh pit. Or bring a room of 500 to hushed silence with the few strums of a ukulele and a love song about cooking. They've been signed to one of the great indie labels, played sold-out shows in Germany and Sweden, wowed the crowds at the Indietracks and Swn festivals, toured the UK and recorded an album. They've received airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6music and XFM, and had glowing reviews in places such as the Metro, The Fly and The Guardian, the latter calling their "Henry Rollins" single on WeePOP! Records "the best indiepop song for years." Elizabeth is also in Tender Trap with Amelia Fletcher.

"The real revelation of this year's NYC Popfest came during the Friday night encore of Allo Darlin', from London. First, that there was an encore at all: the middle act on a five-band lineup playing its first New York show rarely gets that privilege. But for its allotted half-hour at Don Hill's, Allo Darlin' had been terrific, witty and heartfelt, like a less moody Belle and Sebastian." --New York Times

"This debut is a joy from beginning to end, a fully-formed talent at the first attempt – as rare as it is welcome." --BBC

The Wave Pictures

"They play charming, witty pop songs shot through with Jonathan Richman's gawky glee and Suede's doomed provincial romanticism. If Jarvis Cocker were to sing with the Modern Lovers, he might produce a song like Leave The Scene Behind, a piquant account of being brusquely rejected by a beautiful social climber. They are a sharp imaginative band, but The Wave Pictures are all about guitarist and singer David Tattersall, a waspish naif who wears his heart on his ragged sleeve. They owe a certain debt to the Smiths, and Tattersall has Morrissey's knack of marrying the ridicukous and the sublime in an exquisite, tautly turned phrase." --Guardian UK
