What They Sound Like? Since the release of their stellar debut EP The End Of Time, critics and fans alike have pelleted The Tambourine Girls with so many Brit-pop comparisons that even the DMA’s are looking a little jealous. Although such labelling is justified, there is even further depth to the Simon Relf lead outfit. The Tambourine Girls produce not only a Brit-soaked wave of psychedelica that awakens the spirits of Primal Scream and The Verve, but also fiery elements of desert rock, with a rusted-raw Aussie country refinement, especially on their latest single ‘Ghost.’

Why You Should Care? The melting pot of sonic genres that is The Tambourine Girls makes for an entirely fresh listening experience. One moment you’re in baggy pants Madchester, the next your wiping sand from your desert rock eyes until all of the sudden you’re transported to the rusted twang of the Aussie outback. This band are on the rise, having supported Dustin Tebbott’s sold out tour of May, it is now their turn to take the centre stage, with an upcoming east coast tour which will see the band promote ‘Ghost.’
