Quartershade New Noise
Potentially the best thing to come from Loughborough since, erm, Lawrie Sanchez, Quartershade are one of those indie bands that everyone uses the word ‘Epic’ to describe. And they’d be right in all fairness, but not that “We’re trying to sound like the Editors” kind of epic. Actually decent music Epic. HV first witnessed them when they played a shit hole of a venue in Liverpool, bringing with them gear that was better then what the venue already had. They played a blinding set and we’d argue they are one of the top unsigned live acts on the current scene. Setting up their own label and self releasing a number of tracks over 2007, they will self confess that they didn’t make as much noise as they would have hoped to, but with songs as good as theirs; It’s only a matter of time. Oh, also they’re also really tall. All of them. It’s quite weird actually.
