BLACK VINYL!! The Sparkies are Leeds based 5 piece premier 'New Northern' sensation. Here we go with their long anticipated debut 7'.

Their brand of uptempo, uplifting Northern Soul stompers are influenced by the 45's of the golden years but with a modern(ist) twist. 'Lock & Key' is a beautifully written track that oozes the pain and anguish in Sam's haunting voice, perfectly accompanied by Rachel's harmonies. In addition, 'Let Me Go' on the flip side is a floor filling track that thrusts the energy of the 'New Northern' scene. Exploding into life and driven by the drums & swirling Hammond organ it is groovy, uptempo, fast paced and surely in particularly upbeat mood!!

Their incessant touring brings them to stages all over the UK and having supported and shared the stage with acts such as Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, The Three Degrees, Ocean Colour Scene, Jocelyn Brown and The Rifles, along with major festivals appearances at Reading/ Leeds and The Isle of White festival they are keeping the faith and bringing their sense of style to you, their European cousins...Time to dig the new breed...
