Heading off to a festival always presents me with multiple problems. How to avoid strange men wearing only t-shirts asking me if I know the way to breakfast at two in the morning, How best to end the sorry existence of anyone who says Alan at 5:30 next to my head and, perhaps most importantly of all, which new bands to listen to and which to, erm… avoid. To be fair Leefest didn’t really present that last problem this weekend because, and I mean this in the best way, it really is ridiculously tiny. That said I was still pleasantly surprised to stumble across this lot. They sound a bit like a Ra Ra Riot doing an impression of Mumford & Sons . That is to say they make uplifting orchestral pop with perfectly melodic choruses and the odd foot stomping moment. Worth a spin.
