Approved: Talons
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 6 May 2010
Instrumental sextet Talons fuse all the best bits of post-rock, math-rock and hardcore and then top it all off with two violin players. It’s a winning formula that makes for an exciting and energetic sound both on record and live. To date the band have released four limited edition singles through Big Scary Monsters. The latest, a split single with Chicago-based noisemakers Noumenon, came out just last month and will be the last standalone release before the band’s debut album hits shelves this autumn.
But autumn, that’s like forever away. The urge to hear this band that I have clearly awakened in you needs to be acted upon much sooner than that. Luckily, they’ve got quite a lot of songs up on that internet thing everyone keeps talking about, and you can catch them playing at The Great Escape and Nice Weather For Airstrikes festivals in Brighton, as well as at a show in London, later this month.
