Stapleton is a band from Scotland I 'accidently' discovered last summer because someone used the intro of one of their tracks in a YouTube video. After hearing 20 seconds of the song, I instantly liked what I heard and I just needed to find more. Eventhough their music seems very hard to find on the web, I finally got a hold of the first 7 tracks of their latest full-release: Hug The Coast.
Stapleton's sound might remind you of other indie-rock acts like Matt Pond PA and sometimes even the more widely known Death Cab For Cutie. Nothing boundary-breaking really, just plain simple indie-rock songs that I think everyone can enjoy.
I guess there must have been something wrong with their distribution managing though, because this band is playing since 1997, has made 3 albums, had great reviews, toured alot with some known bands, but still has few listeners, although it's actually quite accessible music.
Anyhoo, I'm planning to buy 'Hug The Coast' myself soon, because I believe that this band needs more respect and approval for their work and might need a little boost.
Here are 2 songs from their album 'Hug The Coast' (2005):
Stapleton - Happy Homes And The Hearts That Make Them
Stapleton - Ships Of The North Atlantic
