Why do we like this?

If you're in need of some rollicking folk rock, then I've got the perfect track for you.

The band is the aptly named Traveling Band, a five-piece group hailing from Manchester, and the track is called "Passing Ships."

Using that same slow start and anabsolutely rocking crescendo that bands like Mumford and Sons have made famous, "Passing Ships" kicks off with soft sweet piano set alongsidesome gentle vocals and just continues to build steam all the way through. With a string section, drums, and electric guitar joining suit, the track blows by in the best possible way, leaving you a little breathless and wanting even more.

Thankfully we won't have to wait too long for more, as the band has their third full-length album The Big Defreeze due out on August 25.

By Hugh McClure on Aug 15, 2013 | There's only so much you can do with folk music. In my opinion, as long as you're doing it well, it doesn't matter if you're following a similar formula as other well-known acts. This rings true for 22-year-old Melbourne singer/songwriter Woody Pitne... read more →
