ALCOPOP! Sign Gunning For Tamar

“There are some pretty famous bands from Oxford, right? This quartet look set to join that list of alumni”- Rock Sound 

Although the winds are cold and everyone is slapping on the scarves for Christmas, Alcopop! have been busy in the transfer window, and are pleased to announce the signing of Oxford heart-throbs Gunning For Tamar – along with a fresh new track ‘Chocolate Hooves’ for download pretty chaps!

GFT (Joe Wallis (lead vox/guitar), Dan Pollard (guitar/keyboards/vox), D’Arcy King (drums) and Ben Green (bass) come fresh from a stint with exceptional brothers in arms ‘Walnut Tree Records’, with sold out EP in tow – and a host of folk starting to get a little frothy around the tonsils about this lot.

Already confirmed as ones to watch in Rocksound 2012, and packed with fresh new EP, UK tour with Jumping Ships and European tours in the planning for 2012, it’s all been strong sailing thus far. With recent hits playlisted on Scuzz TV and NME TV, as well as being added to NME.com, they’ve been featured on XFM & BBC 6 Music, Canadian & New Zealand radio and have performed a BBC Introducing session. The band previously picked up the Breakthrough Track Of The Week through NME for “The Organs…”, their first single.

Two full summer tours & a successful first tour away from home soil in Germany, as well as supporting bands such as Tellison, Maybeshewill, Ungdomskulen & Sound of Guns signals a busy, great year already for this young band. They also played a packed out BBC Introducing night in the Oxford Academy back in May & a host of festivals including Truck Festival, Ley Lines Festival & Guilfest last year.

Let’s go (once more) Oxford! For any more info, do get in touch!
