The Tacticians
Hardcore Porn

Setanta

WE SAY

We first featured this London-based band in February 2006 with the delightful London's Alright. Soon after they were MySpace UK featured artists and had plenty of support on 6Music and BBC London. In January this year the band signed to indie Setanta Records, and this is their first single. The core of The Tacticians are brothers Joe Jr. and Ollie, who write all the songs, and they describe their genre as 'urban folk'. This is another gem from them; it's a sweet song which showcases their ear for flawless, understated melody. We await their album with interest. JF London gig: 22 June Filter Magazine & Stylish Riots night at Barfly, NW1
