about
The Steeples possess a certain quirkiness that few bands can convincingly convey. With poignant yet quirky lyrics combined with their sweat-filled, hi octane live sets, they have already garnered themselves an enviable reputation and a hardcore following of self-styled ‘Steeple People’. The Steeples are a hotly tipped indie band from Ormskirk near Liverpool, signed to Easy Money Records. Hailing from the city recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as having the most number 1 hits in any country, it’s easy to see that this band of merry scallywags have clearly inherited Liverpool’s hit-making gene. Picture a hot bubbling caldron full of skinny jeans, pretty boys, floppy fringes, ska-tinged guitars, infectious indie pop riffs, throw in a young Brian Wilson and stir with the Libertines, and you’ll start to get the idea of The Steeples’ sound. They unashamedly state their influences as ‘modern indie bands’ but separate themselves from the chaff with twanging dancefloor-beckoning guitars and vocal delivery that leaves you with no choice but to grin and join in. The band’s catchy uproar has already tickled the ears of a few tastemakers and advertisers already. Both songs, ‘On The Run’ and ‘Fallin Down’, are used as part of an NHS anti-smoking advert. The Killers management said ‘Loosy Lucy’ was “the most commercial record I’ve heard in the last 3 years”. Loosy Lucy already befits a noughties classic, with recent XFM single of the week, with single ‘Britney’s Tears’ set
