Little Brother Eli premiere Gold

Little Brother Eli

Little Brother Eli have premiered their track Gold with The Blues.

It’s taken from the Oxford quintet’s debut album Cold Tales, released on June 24, which has won them comparisons with Jack White and The Black Keys.

The band make a point of dressing well. Bassist Josh Rigal recently told the Oxford Mail: “We like to sound pretty rough around the edges, but it’s important to look good. We favour vintage Victorian dress, but without the top hats.”

Little Brother Eli will play a run of live shows leading up to their album launch event in Oxford on June 25.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
