The TenFiveSixty - Control

Introducing Manchester-based duo The TenFiveSixty, formed by Jen Bailey and Rick Hornby. Having realized they both harbored the same thoughts and feelings on bands and songwriting, the pair say it was a shared love of lost romanticism, soundtracks, 60's girl groups, 80's hooks, good footwear, attention to detail, and the darker side of classic British guitar pop that brought them together, and such reference points are certainly audible in the material they've released so far.

The duo's first offering, "Killer's Son" captured imaginations when it was released as a free download back in 2012, and received a positive reception from the likes of Shout 4 Music, FAME Magazine and With Guitars, to name but a few. Their official debut single, "Do This For Me", released through Giant Haystacks / Fierce Panda saw them dip into wistful balladry, and came accompanied by a remix from San Diego's indie rock/noise pop band, Crocodiles. Meanwhile their brand of poignant introspection found a fitting setting when they were invited to support Britpop icons Suede at the Southend leg of their UK tour last year.

After recently headlining at Matt And Phreds in Manchester, further support has come from BBC's Introducing Manchester and as they continue to take their hometown by storm we're confident that their intriguing new single, "Control" (video below) will help lead them further into the global spotlight.



Premiere via Clash.
