The Rumble Strips - Girls and Weather (New CD)

With GIRLS AND WEATHER, their brand new album, The Rumble Strips have recorded a truly classic British debut album. With their somewhat eccentric origins in Devon, the four young men from Tavistock have fashioned a set of songs steeped with huge, life affirming choruses all awash with the optimism of youth. This is band whose sound and look is entirely their own: thundering drums and piano, brass to stir the soul and singer Charlie Waller's voice a thing of rare beauty and power beauty and power suggesting the arrival of a genius new star.
