Shallow Waters are a Manchester three-piece who are carving a sonic path through an unexplored landscape of tone, style and sound, breathing in inspiration from their Northern predecessors such as The Verve, Oasis, Joy Division, The Stone Roses and The Smiths, as well drawing influence from the Seattle grunge scene, favouring bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains & Soundgarden. Laced with a lustful tone and doused with a fiery Northern attitude, it's a tidal wave of sonic bliss rolling through a spiral of huge, smooth grooves. They are at their best live, taking you on a journey, from chest-pounding mountain tops to deep valleys dripping with psychedelic swells, and their off the cuff jams really evoke the sense that you’re experiencing something completely unprecedented and unique. The band's studio work parallels the strength of their live performances, with a number of songs appearing on Soundcloud over the past three years, with the most recent single coming out just a few months ago, and they have now amassed enough songs to release their debut album if they'd wanted to, so as they haven't got around to it yet, here it is.
