THE TACTICIANS
Brothers Joe Jr. and Ollie, the songwriting core of the band, have a soft spot for three minute pop songs drawing inspiration from their outsized record collections - old soul, ska, country, 60s pop. People have made comparisons to The Kinks mainly due to their tongue in cheek moments and the brother situation. They're not going to argue with that. That said, don't get confused and think retro, The Tacticians are London 2007.
Inspired by countless arguments with the other half about Playstations, football and expanding record collections "Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys" deals with an undeniable fact in life. Uptempo acoustic guitar, maracas and a storytelling, tuneful vocal start things off. Catchy ear tickling guitar licks, sweet harmonies, glockenspiel and economic drumming create a vibe that underpins the message of the song. When the bright plucked bass opens the choruses you're most certainly hooked. Cheerful and breezy.
