Wakefield's Chris Charlton has been in such bands as Chopper and Pylon and is in current acts Keith Burton and His Beef Curtain (which is him solo) and Shake Your Halo Down. Lots to choose from, but I've settled on this, the last album by his band protectors, who were active for 5 years up until 2015.
It's such a mature and well produced album of indie rock that when it came out I assumed they'd kick on and become "massive" as it were but then they disbanded...
What we're left with then is a bit of an underground gem, an album that holds up against anything else in the genre, chock full of exquisite harmonies, killer guitar rockouts, piano and organ embellishments, and heaps of catchy toe-tapping moments.
There's not a duff song here (they'd have been in trouble if there had been given there's only 9 of em on the record), and as the final refrain (and Louis CK quote) of the anthemic "A Reminder" fade out to silence, there's certainly the temptation to just hit play once more.
