Littl'ans

As befits a band who's had a U.K. hit dueting with Peter Doherty (on the sublime single "Their Way"), Littl'ans is no stranger to chaos. Its last British tour saw gigs canceled thanks to, amongst other things, an exploding gas canister and a double booking with 80s legend Echo and the Bunnymen. When it supported Babyshambles, it was subjected to the indignities of the rubber glove treatment after the bus it was traveling on was raided for drugs by the police. (The band was later released without charges.) Yet, Littl'ans, whose name is Cockney vernacular meaning "Little Ones," soldiered on gallantly. After all, in rock and roll the chaos is part of the deal. Four in number - singer and guitarist Andrew Aveling, drummer Ben Clarke, guitarist Alex Mahood and bassist Ryan Blagrove. These days, Littl'ans erractically traverses the country playing doo-wop-influenced pop with the dazed, dark charm of a Syd Barrett or a Nick Drake. It's surprisingly delicate music for such a hard-living band - but then romance often exists in squalor. Words by Alex Needham, deputy editor at NME magazine

Littl’ans sound touches on all the tidbits of great Indie Brit Rock. The dark is mixed with the romantic, coupled with the up-lifting and the melancholic - all layered with odd structure and time signatures. The lyrics portray hope as well as separation and the understanding of maladjustment. The band convey contemporary life and injustices but always try to offer some sort of solution no matter how small or subtle.
