Read Description:

Soundtrack rock with massive orchestras and rousing singalong choruses

Combining soaring string lines and an emotive male vocal with feedback freak-outs and a psychedelic undercurrent, Detroit Social Club have just released their debut album on Fiction. Their music is stadium-ready epic indie, but retains quirky Beck-style interjections and a widescreen classiness that is often never quite achieved by bands in a similar vein. Sounding like a better Kasabian fronted by Richard Ashcroft, they have recently opened for Oasis and Primal Scream and headlined the inaugural New To Q tour.

Listen to first single ‘Prophecy’ for the upbeat, electronically charged side of Detroit Social Club, and the spectacular ‘Northern Man’ for a perfect display of frontman David Burn’s voice. ‘Kiss The Sun’ starts like a harder Arcade Fire, building to a massive chanting chorus, and ‘Black & White’ is a soulful stripped back little ditty. Heck, they’re all great!
