Southern are the new kids on the relatively non-existent UK blues-rock block. The young duo, made up of brother Thom and sister Lucy, share a love for crunching blues riffs and distinctive folk elements that is evident in their punchy, melody-driven approach to the genre.
With their forthcoming eponymous debut due out December 9, the pair have just released the accompanying video to its lead track "
Shout It" "“ an infectious, anthemic, pop-inflected example of their talented musicianship and energy.
Conversely, "World Don't Shine" showcases a more mature sound that clearly imbues more traditional elements married with alternative acoustics and demonstrates a commendable diversity to their style.
If you fancy catching them live, Southern will play Madame JoJo's in London on December 10.
