Sandhill
Looking Through Your Window
(Self Released 3 track promo sampler 31/01/05)

Bouncy and clattering gyration friendly disco indie/pop and droplet of skiffle, proffered by this Geordie quintet is kicked into the end zone by the endearing James Skelly style vocals of Johnny Smith to produce a vibrant feel to the title track. Drummer Paul Slinn, nephew of an Ian Drury and the Blockhead’s member utilizes his rhythm stick to positive effect, as he lifts the slower and spindling ‘Sheila’s Gone’.

Sandhill - Looking Through Your Window (Self Released 3 track promo sampler 31/01/05) - Review

This thrilling quintet is making noises and they are being heard by the right people, as is evidenced by an appearance on Xfm’s Exposure. Tightness and composure are apparent in this brief gaze over the Sandhill. It just remains to be seen if they can maintain this over the years and if they are prepared to go down the slowly, slowly route to recognition, as the likes of Keane and REM have had to do.
