Debut EP release : 3 March 2013

Recorded live and direct during a series of short studio sessions, their debut EP captures something of the raw energy that typifies their live sets.

The Sidetones give us their unique analogue sound; mixing the visceral energy of late 60s funk with the warmth of early 70s soul and psych grooves.

 

This band comes on strong; fusing an organ-heavy sound with break-beat driven pop and crispy New Funk stylings. With such solid grooves, the musicians provide the perfect backbeat for lead singer Aya's sweetly infectious pop vocals.

​

Free to download and enjoy – The Sidetones’ debut EP is a great introduction to a band built on a rich musical tradition yet always finding ways to create a unique and contemporary sound.​
