Girls (and boys!) are you ready for some fit new indie boys in your life?!

Well today we are introducing new band ‘The Tricks’ to you at popledge!

The Tricks include an always welcome double brother combination –  Joel Hodge (lead vocal/bass) and Ash Hodge (drums) and they are joined by John Bisset and Eliot Crabtree (both guitars).

The four friends grew up together in Hertford and after stints in other bands formed The Tricks just over a year ago. After establishing themselves gigging around London, The Tricks caught the attention of US label Unison Music Group and were flown to LA to record demos and then later their debut album with Grammy nominated producer Bruce Witkin.

‘Just For The Summer’ is a fast, poppy explosion of guitars and drums, with a catchy feel-good chorus and a pumping, melodic riff throughout. In contrast ‘Remember Me’ is a down-tempo, smooth guitar-led indie anthem and is reminiscent of early Strokes in its jangly guitars and The Clash in the strong vocal harmonies. Both are perfect songs to kick the winter blues away into spring.

If you like the sound of them then you can go along to their single launch party and check out their website: http://thetricks.co.uk/  which also contains upcoming tour dates.

Their Double A-Side release of ‘Just For The Summer’ and ‘Remember Me’ is out on the 6th of February.
