In recent years, Sheffield has seemingly taken Manchester’s place
as the musical capital of Britain. It has produced a fine array of bands such
as Arctic Monkeys, Hey Sholay, The Crookes, Low Duo, Reverend and The Makers,
Standard Fare…..we could go on and on!
Well, now they have one more. High Hazels are a group of
school friends from the steel city who, only have two songs online to date. ‘Hearts
Are Breaking’ oozes class and charm to such an extent; you would think this is
from an outfit on their 3rd or 4th album.
James Leesy’s vocals are the star of the show. They sit
somewhere in the middle of his Sheffield counter parts Richard Hawley and The
Crookes’ George Waite. This mid-range tone is perfect for this light footed
indie number, as it floats effortlessly among the clouds.
TT suspects that when the mood turns sour, Leesy’s tones are
going to create something truly unique, and when they turn to themes of heartbreak,
eeesh, they are going to churn stomachs.
