Suzuki Method 2013 A1M Records Dir: Joe Gavin

Suzuki/Method are Brothers and founders Adam and Glen Leishman, Michael Mathews, David Boyd and Ben Hounslow.  Together they have created a sonic landscape where anything and everything coexists simultaneously and seamlessly.  They come from Manchester, England - a place where 30 years of dance music culture collides with a wall of screaming guitars and lyrics question and lay blame in equal measure.  Crucially however it is the principled and intelligent approach to pop music that make this Salford band so appealing to such a large demographic, and hard to ignore.

Drawing from a diverse palate of influences ranging from Daft Punk to The Smiths (by way of guitar lines that wouldn’t be out of place on a Parliament record) there is something almost Darwinian in their sound selections and arrangements, where in only the strongest hooks make the final cut.  Debut single "Country Cousins" is a cerebral dance floor powerhouse.  Swelling bass lines and cast iron drum beats draped in lush synth textures provide a pitch perfect soundtrack to Vocalist Adam’s forlorn tale of youth in crisis.
