The SSS(sheffield-based indie rock quintet)Genre: indie rockMembers: Josh Coddington (vocals), Tom Foster (guitar), Morgan Somers (guitar), Cal Atherton (bass), Max Smith (drums)Song: Eighteen
With 'Love, Lust, Loss' set to be released in autumn 2015, sheffield indie force, the SSS give a vibrant foretaste of what to expect from their musical debut: confidently controlled, infectious instrumental frenzy and passionately powerful vocal glow.
Rhythmically fickle and feisty in style, 'Eighteen' combines boisterous melodic motion and vividly alluring lyrical appeal without frills; drawn into a sensual and suspenseful musical novella exhaling temptation and emotional thrill, the listener is exposed to ardent vocal energy radiating youthful charm, is smitten with vivaciously boasting instrumental verve. Gritty guitars howl in a furiously fluttering fashion while vigorous and dashing drum volleys flash forcefully, all accentuated by dimly absorbing, firmly commanding bass sonority, all witnessed by a drama-alerted and captivated audience.
'Eighteen' shows off with exciting and brisk musicianship, attracts attention for the full-length release of spirited rockers the SSS in advance already. For those who haven't had them on their radar by now (and that despite achievements such as playing a sold-out show at their hometown's legendary venue Leadmill or supporting 90's britpop luminaries Hurricane #1 back in april), it's time to pay attention, carefully ...

Pre-order 'Eighteen' (due to be released on september 28th) from Itunes now.
After new single 'Mug', echoing in a rough and energetically scattering fashion, as loyal listeners of Elephant Memoirs' music can presumably recall, the thrilling alt-rock triad strikes yet again, this time though with socio-critical four-track EP, 'False Sense Of Security' (2015). Neither lacking the harsh intensity nor the sonorous energy of previous releases, the compilation introduces the audience to the grimly rigorous and tensely moderate melodic ruckus of 'Published In Braille', makes those willing to, enter the fluttery and spiritedly blazing tonal territory of 'Polaroids In My Head'. 'Out Of My Head', however, tempts and tickles the listener's fancy, sound-wise, with gripping rhythmic gravity and moody, rawly roaring instrumentals, excites with an impulsively driven and perkily pushy compositional style, couples boldly staggering and absorbing sound with atmospherically melodious vocals. Admittedly, the EP in it's entirety is no magnum opum of music-making, nonetheless satisfies with its vigorous tonal edge and its artistic authenticity.
