Four young good-looking British boys from Castle Donington, Nottingham have totally brought trash into our dearly-loved Indie. Late Of The Pier dropped their first single "Bathroom Gurgle" in September 2007, which took people's breath away. While there were still people struggling for breath, the convinced ones started dancing to "The Bears Are Coming" in March this year and on the 4th of August they released their current single "Heartbeat". No one else than DJ and producer Erol Alkan is responsible for this specific sound. Late Of The Pier combine epic synths, heavy guitars and stormy vocals to a very special trashy and intergalactical sound. A friend of mine told me the following at a Late Of The Pier concert: "I don't know how to dance. There are always these sudden breakes. First there is this slow future-pop sound with silent tones and suddenly the keyboard and the drums start and you can't keep your feet still." Their album "Fantasy Black Channel" will be published on the 11th of August and Erol Alkan will be honoured again for a great job, after producing the Mystery Jets' current album "21". The single "Heartbeat" shows that they have made great impression on other artists, because next to others you will find a Zongamin and a Hot Chip Remix on the 12" version.

And here I got two clips from them live at MELT! 2008, which just give an impression of how powerful and amazing these guys are.
