Eight Legs – I Understand

• 23rd Oct 2009

Sunshine indie pop in a not too dissimilar sound to those love lost Reading Boys – Pete & The Pirates. This is a spontaneous slice of shins inspired guitar by Eight Legs. Stepping away from some of the dross that british guitar bands have dished up in a post libertines / monkeys ‘coat tails period’, the four piece are ploughing their own furrow with some bright and simple guitar work. No doubt they take influences from the early singles of the Beatles and thrown them into an abyss of sunshine. Lyrically it needs some attention but the early ground work is there. Hang in there eight legs – I need my shades, the future looks bright.
