The Retrospectives

Having hit up Brighton’s The Great Escape, Tramlines and many more shows this year, The Retrospectives announce new soaring vintage-inspired rock single ‘Rolling Stone‘.

About The Retrospectives

Raised on 60’s and 70’s rock, punk and wave, The Retrospectives are intent on bringing back real rock and roll to the UK music scene via snarling guitar solos, catchy nostalgia, and an infectious passion for performance.

The Sheffield band take inspiration from the likes of Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, and The Rolling Stones, and existing in a scene increasingly filled with electronica and indie-pop, are adamant that guitars continue to hold a vital place in pop music.

Having scored success with singles ‘Confusion‘, ‘Insane‘ and ‘Gold & Green‘, the band continue to revisit classic rock and bring it loudly bang up-to-date with their no-nonsense authenticity as one of the UK’s most hard-working acts. The Retrospectives‘ devout appreciation for the music of their youth enables them to effortlessly remould nods to their roots into an expansive high-definition fusion of modern indie and vintage hooks.

Originally formed by guitarist Tom Galton and bassist Will Stocks, the duo began self-releasing material and gigging relentlessly: a work ethic like no other saw The Retrospectives play over 60 UK gigs between March and July of 2014 alone. The tours that followed saw them take to the stage supporting the likes of The Boomtown Rats and The Buzzcocks, Bruce Foxton’s From The Jam, Paper Aeroplanes, My First Tooth, as well as selling out Liverpool’s famed Cavern Club.

Accolades include BFBS Record Of The Week, BBC Introducing Sheffield‘s Top Ten Tracks of The Year, Q Magazines ‘one-to-watch’, and more, deservedly so. It’s only a matter of time before The Retrospectives become a well-earned festival mainstay.

In 2015, The Retrospectives appeared at The Great Escape, Tramlines and more.

NOTES TO EDITORS:
The Retrospectives are Will Stocks and Tom Galton.
