Textbook

Textbook are a band out of time, sounding like they fell through a wormhole conjured in the midst of the mid-90's American alternative scene that embraced the likes of Buffalo Tom, The Lemonheads and Scarce to come crash-landing into the present with their hooks intact. But, whilst evoking the spirit of yesteryear, they have the charm and songwriting suss to elevate them above being a mere nostalgia trip. With jangling guitar and monster vocal melodies enlivening every chorus harnessed by the production skills of Matt Allison (Alkaline Trio), there's a strong late-summer feel to the whole thing that brings a smile and draws you back for more.
