The Family

Review by Penny Lane, NME:


"When I came across this band's website, I was genuinely excited at the prospect of a new folk and blues band from Southampton, with a contemporary look. The Family sound unbelievably polished for an unsigned band, with deeply instrumental, layered tracks.

‘Bow Legged Woman’ blends the sounds of Primal Scream, Oasis and Seventies rock’n’roll to perfection. To hear this live, with the husky vocals, raucous guitars, and Dylan inspired harmonica, must be brilliant. So I will definitely be going to see them play The Joiners in December, and frankly, any band that manages to fit a banjo into their set must be legendary.

It’s great to see some different music coming out of Southampton, aside from the usual copycat bands that we keep seeing."
