VICTORIA
Distant Nights

unsigned

WE SAY

Every new track we hear from VICTORIA always leads us to wonder how much longer it'll be before they finally land that much-deserved major deal. We've featured the lads twice before; firstly with the excellent Into The Wild and again towards the end of last year with the equally impressive The Edge. Now both of those songs appear as two of the five tracks on this latest EP alongside this title track, which confidently demonstrates yet again their knack for creating solid guitar-based pop with universal appeal. Their recently sold-out London gig at The Barfly showed that support from BBC Introducing is helping them grow a loyal fanbase both in the capital and through their regular regional tour dates too. So we sense that big deal is just around the corner. These five boys are music obsessIves, skilled players and performers, and have everything in place to make a big splash. Yet again, they deliver the goods with confidence, an anthemic chorus, brilliant musicianship and the sort of polished grown-up pop sound that deserves to take them to the world stage. Keep it up, chaps. We're rooting for you.
