The Sand Band + Jack Joseph

Liverpool's Deltasonic-signed headliners plug their Noel Gallagher-approved debut – a terrific record that's drawn favourable comparisons with the hazy, wistful, folksy sounds of fellow Liverpudlians Shack, as well as the bold yet twinkling ballads of Richard Hawley. Noel has even roped the outfit's guitarist, David McDonnell, into his own band.
