Dutch-Finnish band folk trio Town of Saints build a name for themselves with two self-released EPs. Their debut full-length Something To Fight With should be their ticket to break out of the cognoscenti bracket, with glorious melodies wrapped in strings and acoustic guitars. The trio comes out swinging, sounding like they've been held back for too long and can't wait to to let rip. Think a mix of Elbow, The Levellers and Fleet Foxes.
Harmen Ridderbos (vocals/guitar), Heta Salkolahti (violin/vocals) and Sietse Ros (drums) already found their sound - now it's up to the general public to recognize them as something very special indeed.
Something To Fight With is released through Snowstar Records. Release date: October 4th.
