Across the last six months, we’ve been bringing the buzziest of buzz to Tileyard Studios’ Two Tribes Brewery as part of our Big Indie Big Nights series. From the scuzzy rock of Thee MVPs to the shimmering indie of ST MARTiiNS and the infectiously energetic Glossii, there’s been a whole range of young talent through the brewery’s doors. None might have more ambition than this month’s guests though, London quartet FOURS.

Fresh from releasing new single ‘Even In My Dreams’, the band are full of energy tonight, and it bursts out of every note they play. There’s hints of the bombast of Florence Welch, the insatiable groove of Haim and the distinct ‘80s influence of Michael Jackson in their sound, and across their half-hour set, more bangers than a sausage factory.

‘Even In My Dreams’ is a huge, sugary rush of powerful pop to crush heartbreak with, while ‘Last Summer’, a new song about “sleeping with the same person every summer”, is just as enticing. ‘Fade To Love’ is the band’s calling card though, a track that thrusts melody to the front and channels The 1975’s signature choppy guitars. Not content to leave it there, though, the band close on a new song, a move that proves just how much confidence they move forwards into 2019 with, and it’s not hard to imagine that they’re set for big things.

Our next Big Indie Big Nights gig will be announced shortly, keep your eyes peeled…
