1954 hail from San Diego, California. Which is perhaps funny, given that they sound far more British than a lot of British bands. I particularly hear Blur and Bloc Party, and also a hint of the Klaxons. The vocals are a tad weird, but this is not necessarily a bad thing (Celine Dion might be a technically a better singer than Shane MacGowan, but who would you rather listen to? Exactly). They sound like more youngsters having a fantastic time, creating a riot of noise, guaranteed to annoy boring grown-ups. This is, naturally, a very good thing.
They are currently unsigned, but – as is the case in this day and age- They have five songs up on their
MySpace, of which I present two for you here:
If you like these, go along to their MySpace, where y
ou can download more
tracks and make friends with them. As ever, pl
ease let me know what you think, as well as downloading the music.
