Careless Sons by Tonymanillapr

R*E*P*E*A*T Commander-in-Chief, Richard Rose, taught singer/guitarist Dickon Collinson to play at the impressionable age of seven. Every week after school, they would meet in a freezing mobile classroom in the belly of the Fens to thrash out ‘Pretty Vacant’, ‘Substitute’ and ‘You Love Us’. ‘Rocking stardom roads ahead for this extremely gifted band’ – Forkster ‘Emotive and hook laden’ - Back Seat Mafia ‘A refreshing pop rock round’ - The Manchester Culture Show Fast forward a decade. Dickon meets singer/guitarist Rob D’Ath and bass player Ben Donnelly (childhood allies with a somewhat unhealthy teenage crush on The Beatles, Queen and Bruce Springsteen) at a university poker night. In the penniless aftermath, Careless Sons was forged. The boys write about love, loss, regret and redemption, with tunes that are at once ear-grapplingly melodic, aggressively forthright and yet hopelessly sentimental. Having toured their refreshingly charming brand of literate pop rock across the UK over the past two years, supporting To Kill A King, CHILDCARE and gaining BBC radio play. Heartbreak Major’ showcases the sound of an exciting young band beginning to stretch its legs, with a style akin to your favourite pair of jeans; distressed, full of holes and enviably sexy.
