I always try to listen to new and/or suggested artists with an open mind in order to give them a blank canvas. More times than not, I come away with something even a parent would be embarrassed to hang on their fridge. Every now and then, I'll come across a band with a track of two that while having a nice sound, doesn't stay with me for more than a moment. Then there are those surprises. The one's like I received recently from a new band calling themselves Tournaments.
As Gevin Pearson told me, "i had written some tunes that i wanted to played in a big pop style. started recording and jamming with a few friends and we became 'tournaments'"
Tournaments have recorded a few demos and are currently playing gig around the UK while recording their debut record. Boldest of Colours is a spirited straight indie pop song. Lone Sailor is the real standout though, both musically and lyrically. A slow to mid-tempo heart-rending sincere plea for love. Both songs fit the indie/pop/folk mold of Bright Eyes and others without sounding contrived. Their MySpace page features a third track, Turn and Run, which is every bit as solid as the tracks listed here.
