If Theres One Song You Listen To Today...
Make it "JCB" by Nizlopi.
Nizlopi are a two piece from Leamington (a guitar and a double base), two lads who met on a bus when they were thirteen. On first listen what really makes Nizlopi stand out is guitar and vocalist Luke's voice - "an unlikely marriage of The Streets and a male version of Tracy Chapman".
Ideally (because of the subject matter of JCB) I'd have posted this on Fathers Day, but I hadn't heard it yet (kudos to Dave Keates). A month late isn't a month sorry, this really is worth hearing.
Listen at http://www.jcbsong.co.uk/, I also recommend watching or downloading the brilliant animated video on the same site.
Sounds Like: Nathaniel Green (with a more Southern accent)
Nizlopi’s debut album, called Half These Songs Are About You, is now on sale in major record shops, being distributed by Nova through Pinnacle.
