Surfacing: The Winter Falls [New Band]

Words: Saam Das

I woke up this morning and it was still dark. I don't think words can express the emotions that ran through me at the time. However, it seems entirely appropriate to be writing about a band called The Winter Falls as a result. You may be familiar with them from when I wrote about them as Yes Lord Sugar. If not, they comprise of members of two of Liverpool's best bands of recent years - Elle S'appelle and goFASTER>>.

Announcement: Saam On BBC 6Music [Now Playing x2]

Words: Saam Das

You might have tuned in to my BBC 6Music radio appearance back in May, where I talked about some of my favourite acts of The Great Escape festival - namely BASTILLE, Lanterns On The Lake and Oh Land. Either way, I was invited back by producer Will and made appearance number two on last Friday's Now Playing show with Tom Robinson.

Surfacing: Yes Lord Sugar

Words: Saam Das

Back in the early/glory days of this blog, when we were called Keep Hope Inside, I raved about two Liverpudlian bands - goFASTER>> and Elle S'appelle. I even included them in my tips for 2007 and tips for 2008, respectively. Sadly, neither band managed to break through. But in their death comes Yes Lord Sugar, full of the same infectious (boss)pop that won us over the first time round.
