sixteen: Jamie & The Lionhearts

I recently finished an extremely frustrating book called The Sea, The Sea by a Ms. Iris Murdoch that actually had me casting it aside with pure annoyance at times. The story involves a cynical playwright Charles Arrowby and his, more than reluctant, old flame Mary Hartley Smith.
If only their relationship had been half as exciting as Jamie And The Lionhearts' song Old Flame then I might've enjoyed the book more. In fact, exciting doesn't do JATL's toe-tapping, jaunty music justice in my opinion. The four boys from the South are utterly infectious, and though their music may remind of some trilby-wearing, acoustic guitar-whielding bands who're around at the moment, I assure you these kids are better.
Normandy is a hand on heart, shout your lungs out belter, see if you can resist joining in with that chorus "She's going to Normandy/And she leaves by nine".
Going back to Old Flame, this song see saws between a trundling, violin-ed up verse and an arching chorus, packed full of cymbals and bass, and once again those genius lyrics catch your ears and effortlessly reel them in.
Jamie And The Lionhearts seem to have definitely found their feet on the stage aswell, with heaps of experience (bills include Operator Please and Lightspeed Champion), they come across well and always make a great impression!
They've got a few live dates here and there in August, so look out!
Listen to Normandy here.
