WE SAY

This off kilter dose of psych-pop is bought to us courtesy of La Shark. Their is definitely an element of 'marmite' to the band, but for anyone unsure we suggest you go and see them live, where their fantastic - larger than life - performances have seen them build a solid fanbase in London and further afield. The band have performed alongside the likes of Mumford & Sons, The Maccabees and Paloma Faith, deserving recognition as one of Britain's most exciting up and coming live acts.  Radio support has come from NME, 6 Music and Xfm, with press support from Artrocker, Time Out and The Fly. We need more bands like this, with a strong sense of adventure, keeping us all on our toes. Previous single, I Know What You Did Last Summer comes with a video, offering equal measures of weird and greatness.
