It might seem odd to describe Bombay Bicycle Club as veterans given that nobody in the band is older than 24, but with four albums and a pair of EPs already released, calling them veterans is still poorly. The band was born in 2005, but it was not until a year later when they introduced this alias, named after a chain of Indian restaurants in Britain. Defined as an indie rock band from North London, the group is comprised of frontman Jack Steadman, guitarist Jamie MacColl, drummer Suren de Saram, and bassist Ed Nash.
Bombay Bicycle Club self-released in 2007 their debut EP, “The Boy I Used To Be”, and received praise from the music press, with NME at the lead. The band's second EP, “How We Are”, debuted at #2 on the UK Indie Singles Chart. Thus began an unstoppable career and in 2009 the band released their first full length with Island Records, “I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose”. Shortly afterwards they won the NME New Band Award beating The XX and Mumford & Sons.
The freedom that being one of the most desired indie bands gave them has allowed them to experiment with their sound in the last years, unplugging their instruments and recording acoustic songs with a purer sound, such as we can find in "Flaws" (2010), which was nominated for an Ivor Novello. Their third LP “A Different Kind of Fix” arrived in 2011 and it was broader in scope and ambition, with sampled loops and mellifluous keys, sophisticated rhythms and indie-rock guitars. Bombay Bicycle Club have just released heir fourth album, “So Long, See You Tomorrow”, which first single “Carry Me” has an interactive music video.
After support shows with Bastille, being remixed by Hot Chip and Ladytron and performing on the main stages at Wilderness and Leefest festivals, past September The Ramona Flowers released a new single ‘Brighter’ which mixes electronica, rock and indie resulting in a track that’s as infectious as it is dramatically powerful. NME describes the band’s textural sound as “a wholly different beast, and one that could have feasibly fitted on Radiohead’s Kid A.” Now, they are about to release what will be their first full lenght produced by Andy Barlow of Manchester electronica duo Lamb.
