Gloria Cycles are, Glaswegian born Kenny McCracken (lead vocals and guitar),
Julian Ward (lead guitar), Jack Hannan (Drums) and 6 foot sweet singing Jen Dalby (bass and vocals).
'Chancer' is the third single from Gloria Cycles, the brilliant four piece from sunny Brighton who are one of 2009's most exciting and intriguing
bands. It's a glorious slice of upbeat indie set to a backdrop of dark tales of torment.
The band spent most of last year on the road playing up and down the country charming audiences. They were asked to go on tour with Cage The Elephant and Fight Like Apes, as well as playing to 25,000 eager German music fans at
Taubertal Festival. They also played unmissable sets at Great Escape, Liverpool Soundcity and Offset.
'Vegas' and 'No Zero's' (released on limited coloured vinyl) grabbed the attention of key tastemakers at Radio 1 and their debut single whizzed straight into the top 30 of their indie chart on word of mouth alone. The band have a true DIY ethic, they make their own dazzling artwork, promote their very own club night in Brighton and also direct their own videos.
Their debut album mixed by John Cornfield (Oasis, Stone Roses and Supergrass) is due for release in June.
