DANTEVILLES

Soul pop brimming with bombastic gospel, filthy grooves and razor-sharp songwriting, Dantevilles shatter the misconception that they are another Manchester guitar band. Sure, the gang-swagger confidence flows over the glass but in their debut collection lies familiarity and boundary pushing in equal measures. In parts, majestic and hip to the hook, the band don’t miss a chance to tailor any loose pockets, the result is a tight, explosive energy that could have a room chanting in a heartbeat. Their soulful edge is peppered with sprinklings of psych and alt-rock, bundled up in melodious bursts of verve. Being loyal to the indie code of conduct can be hard these days, but Dantevilles toe the line while showing more ambition than most.
