Pretty Little Thing

Blackchords

Dust Devil/Stomp

WE SAY

Pretty Little Thing is the punchy second single from Blackchords' debut self-titled album. Their first single At World's End, which we featured last year, went on to be play-listed on MTV2 and NME TV while Kerrang! Radio's Alex Baker made them his featured artist of the week. Clash, Q and Rolling Stone all gave positive reviews for the album and shows at The Great Escape (where we saw them play a packed daytime show) and Liverpool Sound City impressed many. There's a stadium-sized ambition in many of the songs we've heard from them so far. Catch their single launch in London this Friday. London gig: June 18, Barfly NW1
