Always This Good

Adding extra spice to jaunty indie pop, Bombay Bicycle Club have become firm festival favourites since winning the 'Road to V' competition in 2006. Jack Steadman formed the band in North London and the four piece have since gone on to play around the world, including Reading + Leeds for the past three years running.

Gaining success while still in school, the band have released three albums, including last years A Different Kind of Fix. Musically influences range from the nu-folk movement as defined by Mumford and Sons, to the giddy joy of Talking Heads, with singles Shuffle and How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep exhibiting melancholy indie loops and mesmerising vocals, perfect for sunny festival vibes.
