About The Laurel Collective .. Hailing from Wales, England, Nigeria and Italy, The Laurel Collective play a schitzophrenic range of pop as diverse as their backgrounds. Fronted by the twin attack of two front men and their contrasting vocals, with the band bashing out a grooving, percussive racket - music for the short attention span, but music with depth too. Several line up changes and many gigs later, their experimental wall of sound has been trimmed to a slick, wayward pop outfit, flicking between the Juno vs Moog synth battle of songs 'International Love Affair' and the explosive samba punk of 'Gunmouth'. What has emerged for their forthcoming mini album is in fact a great showcase in song writing - 8 songs of emotional honesty, melodies infused with the bands own sonic recipe. It's already won them over a small legion of fans, so good things beckon - watch out as the mini album drops this Easter. Franz Ferdinand make music for girls to dance to- The Laurel Collective make music for girls to eat cake to. So come to a show. And let them eat cake.
