Craig (22), Stuart (22), Daley (24) and Matthew (22) are four likely lads from Shrewsbury who came together, Megazord-like, in Leeds (the Northern city famed for cheeky chappies Peter Sutcliffe and The Kaiser Chiefs). Together, they form the rhythm colossus known as The Sunshine Underground.

Like a fever you actually want to catch, the Sunshines’ following has spread as the band have sold out London and Leeds on their first headline tour. This follows successful support slots for LCD Soundsystem and countless sweaty local rave-ups, which earned the group the Live Band of the Year trophy at the Leeds Music Awards.

Their debut single, ‘Put You In Your Place,’ was released on City Rockers on July 18th after winning Zane Lowe’s Fresh Meat competition and since then the boys have toured up and down, leaving a trail of danced-out fans basking in their anthemic afterglow. Their second release, ‘Commercial Breakdown,’ earned even more kudos from the likes of Lowe and the NME, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing. In addition to their hectic live schedule, the boys are in and out of the studio recording with Dan Kahuna (FC Kahuna) as well as Steve Dubb (Chemical Brothers) and Seggs (The Ruts), who have also been in with Bloc Party and Roots Manuva. The boys are looking to finish the album in March for an early autumn release before departing for more live dates, including the spring/summer European festival circuit. Live favourites Borders, Panic Attack, and My Army have already gone under the knife, as well as a few nameless newies.

Bringing a danceable sensibility to the regionally-accented angular guitar antics so popular at the moment, The Sunshine Underground are the tip for 2006.
