Up-&-Coming//Sulk.

Formed by lead guitarist Tomas Kubowicz in Sweden, before moving to London in search of like minded band mates, Sulk are Baggy revivalists with an element of shoegazey, acid house insouciance. Sounding as though formed in Manchester in the late 80’s/early 90’s.

Evidently heavily influenced by The Stone Roses, as conveyed through tracks such as “Sleeping Beauty” with it’s shimmering guitars accompanied by Jonathan Sutcliffe’s euphoric, wispy vocals, building a mellow atmosphere in a style similar to that of The Stone Roses, The Charlatans, early Blur and Suede. As does debut single “Flowers” with its infectious, whirring guitar riffs. Leading to them getting noticed by producer Mark Wallis (The Smiths, The La’s, Etc).

Although they have received a lack of mainstream success, they already have a strong celebrity fan base including; The Horrors, The Courteeners, S.C.U.M and dissimilarly Peaches Geldof. Also having supported The Twang, The Charlatans and recently The Drums. Yet, with the release of their awaited debut album and the recent Britpop revival, what which emerging new bands such as; Brother and to an extent Beady Eye, alongside reunions from Suede and Pulp. The future looks luminous for Sulk and their acid house resurrection.

Listen To: “Flowers,” “Sleeping Beauty.”

For Fans Of: The Stone Roses, The Charlatans, Suede, S.C.U.M.
