New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Fresh from winning a slot at Bingley
Music Live, rubbing shoulders with the
Kaiser Chiefs and Manic Street Preaches and receiving airplay on Tom Robinson's Mixtape on BBC 6 Music, power pop band The Harriets return with another distinctive, energetic and melodic single 'Harry', released May 11th.
The Leeds-based duo, made up of the musical minds
Daniel Parker-Smith and Ben Schrodel, have made waves in the Yorkshire music scene since day one, being chosen by independent industry expert judges such as Alan Raw from BBC Introducing and organisers of festivals End Of The Road and Tramlines to work with Higher Rhythm as part of their Breakthrough development programme. More recently the duo have been picked up by BBC Introducing and BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson.
Daniel and Ben form the perfect formula, dealing in jangly, melodic tunes, with a focus on the bright distinctive vocal harmonies. Adding another layer to their live shows is Ryan Bailey on the drums, which you can catch at new monthly night #360RAW, where The Harriets were hand-picked by Richard Watson, promoter of the 360 Club at Leeds Library, and Alan Raw, presenter of BBC Introducing West Yorkshire and BBC Introducing Humberside.
As well as writing and producing their own music, The Harriets create content based around their DIY musical process, which you can watch on their YouTube here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnpamMW41ZA
