After The Long Knives forgot the time change (like the rest of the world) on Sunday, they finally made it into the studio. We at the Sessions were delighted to see them.
They snuck into our special little red room and went straight for a song. Cheap Wine is the current single, to be launched in Toner's on April 24th. On the myspace page they describe it as the most pop-friendly offering yet. I love it. The tone is summery and the harmonic riffs augment perfectly this gorgeous song.
The Long Knives are Niall, Caroline, Martin, and (the absent from the radio) Mark. This band, though they have been formed and reformed quite a many times, have the look and sound of granddaddies of musician. Wet behind the ears they are not. They sound tight and smooth and have an impressive history of recording, gigging and touring. Niall's vocals are iron-lung strong leaving the rest of the band to rock out at their discretion. They are collectively amazingly engaging to watch perform.
Personal Holly favourites are Cheap Wine and North Country Girl (absolutely gorgeous). Check them out for some freakin quality tunes:
