Unkle Bob

They’ve only sold 15,000 albums; they’ve only had 100,000 songs downloaded; their sublime Swans tune has only featured once in the climax to a Greys Anatomy storyline (thus inspiring hundreds of college kids to make their own Swans Youtube videos) – but they are still Unkle Bob and they are still one of the most gorgeous, uplifting, lonely and revealing bands on the planet.
They self-released their debut album, Sugar and Spite, back in October 2006 to huge critical acclaim (yes, that old chestnut) and have recently released their second album produced by Ken Nelson (Gomez, Coldplay, Kings of Convenience) and Saul Davies (Sugar and Spite, James)
In amongst the manufactured pop drivel, the excitable indier-than-thou new Smiths-elects and the R & B soundalikes you too may have had the good fortune to have stumbled upon something quite special. (written by Phill Savidge)
