Take parts of The Three Johns and The March Violets, and blend them with Slowdive, The Shop Assistants, The Close Lobsters and early Soup Dragons and modernize them with The Dum Dum Girls, The XX, and The Crystal Stilts and you may get something that sounds like The Notes. Then again, maybe you won’t, but at least it gives you an idea of what I thought when I heard them for the first time. The Beauty of music is that it is in the ear of the listener, so give them a listen and tell me what you think.

As if that’s not enough to give them a listen, they are also inspired by the Velvet Underground, Orange Juice, Joy Division, The Wake, The Sonics, and Gang of Four ensuring they have been given an education in fine music (or is that a “Bad Education” as The Blue Orchids once said). And that’s not even the best part, they are also fans of the Television Personalities and have agreed to record several covers for the TVP tribute series so keep your eyes and ears Peeled.
