"Veteran fans had what they called "Records on Ribs", Beatles tracks copied from illicit tape recordings and inscribed on to old X-ray plates - so children could listen to Can't Buy Me Love on Uncle Sergei's lungs..."

Kirsty: "It-s been a dream of mine for ages to tour with the Bloodhound Gang around Europe on their party bus. We-d need to bring some ear defenders and eye mask for Lou. The girl-s gotta sleep... and a cycle helmet. Nobody wants Lou with a head-chill!"

Leeds-based Esper Scout combine melody, harmony and rhythm to create warm dynamic songs with dense textures and vibrant hooks. The four-piece comprised of Sarah Statham (vocals, guitar), Kirsty Morton (guitar), Rebecca Jane (bass) and Lou Brinn (drums, vocals) have two previous releases in ‘Kids & Pets’ and ‘Gaps in the Border Fence/In Foreign’, and are currently working towards a mini-album expected later in 2013.

'Exhilarating, truly edgy & cleverly provocative.'
- Vibrations Magazine -
'[Gaps in the Border Fence] is a sombre and serious epic indie.'
'There’s much to admire in the dreamy landscape that Esper Scout creates. They conjure up memorable melodies with effortless ease.'
'The influence of bands like the Mars Volta is clear in their music but the vocal delivery makes them closer to Manchester favourites Oceansize. Comparisons to Warpaint also seem valid as the set goes all shoegazey at times with good dual vocals and clever breakdowns.'
- AFV Magazine, Winter 2012 -
'[Esper Scout] execute their sound with perfection... great vocals and lyrics, precise and clever.'
