Introducing… Fresh Legs
Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank’s favourites and Bestival sensations Fresh Legs follow-up on an amazing summer of action-packed gigging, writing and recording with their debut release for Sotones Records.
Southampton gig and club-goers have known that Fresh Legs were something special since early 2008, when the energetic four-piece, fronted by live-wire Ella blew audiences away supporting fellow indie-pop gems Thomas Tantrum. Championed by TT, a support slot for Fight Like Apes followed.
Others began to take notice, and their recording debut – Chess was released in early 2009 on Yada Yada. The record attracted national attention in the form of airplay on BBC 6Music and Radio 1. Rob da Bank took the band to his heart, and repeat plays and a personal the aforementioned Bestival invitation followed.
Leaping at the opportunity to work with up-and-coming bookers The Mixed Tape Agency (Die!Die!Die!; Situationists), the band soon found themselves plunged into a hectic series of summer gigs including a prime slot on the main stage at Southsea Fest.
Fresh Legs’ Julian EP (released on May 3rd 2010) is fun, unabashed indie goodness. You can literally feel Ella’s passion and energy come across with each little explosive track. Step aside music lovers – Fresh Legs have arrived!

ABoF on Amazing Radio!
The folks over at Amazing Radio recently asked us to come in and listen to some unsigned bands and give our "expert" opinion. Not sure how "expert" we are at critiquing unsigned bands but we had a good laugh doing it and discovered a few wee gems as well as hearing a few stinkers in the process!You can listen to us chat about winkle pickers, why bands *shouldn't* sound like their auditioning for the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack and the teletubbies on acid... Yes, we DID manage to mention all those things whilst critiquing these bands... that's just how we roll!
The show we guested on is called It's Amazing and you can listen to us tomorrow (Thursday 25th February) at 7pm. The show is repeated on Saturday 27th February at 3pm.
Listen HERE.
