“A soaring piece of indie with a real sense of ambition. Longfellow might well be playing small venues now, but – if the band have their way – it won’t be long until they graduate into something rather grander.“– ClashMusic

“Perfectly formed epic-indie […] with hooks many a rival would give their guitar-strumming hand to pen once in their career” – Gigwise

Track of the Day – Q Magazine

“They are able to conjure up this almost wounded emotive beauty about their music […] whilst charming you with a sing along chorus at the same time” – Backseat Mafia

Longfellow are set to release their new single ‘Kiss-Hug-Make Up’ on Fierce Panda Records on the 26th May 2014. ‘Kiss-Hug-Make Up’ is a slice of epic melancholy indie pop, bolstered by fearless melodies and large choruses to will melt your heart. The track has also already won the BBC 6 Music Rebel Playlist and is currently on the C-List at Radio 2.

Since supporting Keane last Halloween, Longfellow have barely been off the radio. Steve Lamacq heavily supported their previous single release ‘Siamese Lover’ alongside Amazing Radio, XFM, Jo Whiley on Radio 2 and BBC Introducing’s ‘Unsigned Band Of The Week’ on Huw Stephens in the first week of 2014.

This radio love culminated in the spring with a cherished slot on BBC Introducing’s reactivated SXSW showcase on March 13th at Austin’s Latitude 30 alongside the likes of Royal Blood, Thumpers and Public Service Broadcasting.

Longfellow are: Owen Lloyd (vocals), Tom Warhurst (drums), James Thomas (electric guitar), Isaac Shiman (bass) and Ali Hetherington (piano / synth). They lurk in South London and create a modest, authentic and soulful mixture of epic indie pop.

You can catch Longfellow live on May 20^th at The Barfly, @ XFM & The Barfly present X-Posure Live Fierce Panda special and on June 20^th at the Camden Crawl.
