Hooton Tennis Club are a 4 piece from Liverpool who are
currently on tour of the U and everyone should be champing at the bit to see them
and here two reasons why (tracks can be found via this Spotify link Hooton Tennis Club
– Jasper / Standing Knees ).
Jasper
This single is packed with driving guitars reminiscent of
Teenage Fanclub. There is a good dose of Pavement aswell but, make no mistakes,
this is a very English song. It has that overcast sense of gloom throughout
which, when combined with their clear talent for guitar melodies creates a
glorious pop single.
Standing Knees
This is a fuzzy and slightly twisted take on the new garage scene which has been on the underground in recent times (with Ty Seegal in every band it seems). The lo-fi vocals have a brilliant ‘anyone can do this’ attitude and the spiraling guitar solo around the 2minute 20 secs mark maybe short but, is incredibly powerful for such a fledgling outfit.
