And The Heads Did Roll

impeccably mannered londoners the molotovs consist of will daunt (vocals / guitar), henry walton (guitar), dom millard (keyboards / guitar), iain lock (bass / sax) and guy henderson (drums). these five multi-tasking gentlemen have spent much of their spare time over the past six months in a room at the fortress in old street, old london town, frowning at their many instruments and dabbling with the lightest of melodies and most fragrant of guitar lines. now that the sun is making an appearance the molotovs are moving out of the rehearsal room shadows and setting themselves up for a summer of fun. they started by appearing on the bbc introducing stage at glastonbury just gone and it will continue over the steamy weeks to come as they prepare for the release of a terrific six-track mini-album entitled 'and the heads did roll' on fierce panda. 'and the heads did roll' features debut 7" single 'flowers', which came out on cool for cats late last year, and imminent follow-up 'come to grief', released as a download single on fierce panda. throw in four other bonzer brand new tunes unavailable anywhere else in the known universe and we reckon that equates to twenty minutes' worth of top notch articulate tunesmithery which nods knowingly at the cultured perambulations of nyc ghosts such as vampire weekend and the walkmen (who they supported at the panda's 15th birthday show at the scala in february) while also following an eloquent home grown guitar-pop lineage which runs from the smiths to the maccabees.
