This 6-person group, assembled by singer-songwriter Ed Lewis, has been finishing off its debut album, ‘Code 14’, over the past few months.

The song is called ‘Fidelity’ and it has a naggingly infectious guitar riff, contrasting with some whiny male vocals singing “All I’m saying, is please be gentle, I am frail, but I’m not fragile”. Think elements of Blur, Violent Femmes and The Pixies (all acknowledged as strong influences by the group) and you’ll know why we’re very interested in that upcoming album by Baobab.
