Post rock is a notoriously hard genre to get right, but luckily Aldershot three-piece Parachute For Gordo know how to hit all the right buttons.

Having released a popular ukulele-led album when she was just 15 (60,000 copies sold), she’s now dropped the uke, picked up an electric guitar and developed a love of Patti Smith, The Velvet…
Frightened Rabbit have tentatively made steps into the public conscience over the last five or six years via a hard work ethic, honest songwriting and the help of a Baxters Soup advert.
