Start Fires

A 3 track noise pop single (10m 28s) — released October 25th 2010 on Josaka

Oxford grrl/boy 4-piece Secret Rivals release debut EP Start Fires through Josaka on 25th October 2010. Their debut 'What Fists Are For' picked up airplay from BBC local radio and in turn Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Tom Robinson from 6MUSIC. “A cult classic. It's got some great grrl/boy vocals and plenty of charming melody and hooks.†The Mag “a frantic frenzy of a glue-sniffing punk hurricane: all untidy, but full of attitude†Fierce Panda “Secret Rivals new one, is the best thing they’ve done so far. The Oxford band keep improving as they hone their sound over time, the scratchy messiness replaced with a far more assured band letting the melodies shine through. It’s mid eighties indie pop, with a Bis shouty bit at times and a touch of new wave effervescence. Rather lovely indeed.†Russell’s Reviews “a frantic frenzy of energy and melodies. These guys are the main reason why it's fun to start a band in the first place†Glitzine
