Circa Waves - New Music - Telegraph Circa Waves are a four-piece garage-rock band from Liverpool whose brash pop tunes are reviving the sound of the early-Noughties indie scene. Despite only being six months old, the band have created quite a buzz - their forthcoming single, Get Away, was recently picked by Radio One DJ Zane Lowe as his Hottest Record in the World. After spending years in dead-end bands, frontman Keiran Shuddall decided to "knuckle down" and give a rock star career one last chance. "I didn't used to be as determined as I am now to write songs and make a really good band," the 26-year-old explains. I told myself that I either had to get a real job or give [music] a proper go and try and make it a success. Within a couple of months he had written enough songs to put demos online and gauge reaction. Shuddall was introduced to bassist Sam Rourke and drummer Sian Plummer through mutual friends, and met guitarist Joe Falconer while he was doing some stage managing. Before even releasing their debut single, the band embarked on short tours of the UK and Europe in October and November, and they have also been picked up by Transgressive Records (Foals, Johnny Flynn). What do they sound like? Like 2013"s answer to The Vaccines, Circa Waves craft unashamedly upbeat indie-pop songs with infectious melodies and rousing choruses. Shuddall admits he "loved music the most" when bands like The Libertines and the Strokes were in their pomp, and there are echoes of both of these bands in Circa Waves's jittery guitars and pulsing rhythms. Underneath the indie disco hum, meanwhile, lie lyrics infused with teenage angst and the frustration of trying to make it. What do they say about themselves? "We wanted a band to make indie-pop classics with," Shuddall says. Get Away / Good For Me is released via Transgressive on December 2
