Focused around the songwriting talents and production skills of Jo Dudderidge
and Adam Gorman and the rhythmic driving force of enigmatic drummer Nick Vaal,
The Travelling Band have been quietly honing what Marc Riley described as
“Mancunian Americana”.

Available on CD and limited edition white vinyl.

The resulting album mines a rich seam of influences, with key album track ‘Last Night (I Dreamt of Killing You)’ and the grungy ‘Wasted Eyes’ highlighting the band’s love of American indie rock, but still with that Mancunian twist nodding to Elbow and I Am Kloot. ‘Mopping Forwards’ draws on their time spent in East Nashville and the almost Satie-like melancholic ballad ‘Loser’ belies the darker turn that Jo and Adam’s lyrics have taken.

“It’s all here – passionate yet delicate vocals, deep forceful drumming, jangly guitar, fluctuating strings – everything you could ask for from a song that oozes summer” – The 405
