Clocks ( Epsom & Ewell, UK)

"United by a passion for great songs, and taking influences from Oasis, Teenage Fanclub, The Kinks and The Zutons et al, Tom, Ed, Rich and John are four young men who over the last few years, have dedicated any spare personal time to honing their talents and mastering the art of penning a classic indie-pop gem. And boy, have they spawned a few.Their desire to escape their home town and become a force to be reckoned with - both in the recording studio and with their live show - Clocks are ready to unleash their universal chart-pop appeal on the UK and beyond.
Their debut album has been recorded and produced by Elliot James (Bloc Party, Fields and Little Man Tate) and will be released in 2008.
First single is this limited 7" single 'All I Can' which is backed by 'That Much Better' - a song Orange recently picked up on and made a video for to aid their online campaign.
'All I Can' is everything you might want from a pop song, and damn, these boys know a thing or two about a pop song. Both super upbeat and touching- it depicts a young mans plight to 'get the girl' - "you're dazzlingy pretty, sparkle in the city, I'm doing all I can".
To complement the bands debut album campaign, they have secured two of the best and most sought after artists to design their artwork Mr Pete Fowler and Mark James (SFA, Magic Numbers, Monsterism, Gruff Rhys) have put pen to paper (or actually paint to wood) and created 12 beautifully and individually cartooned Russian Dolls that will each, in turn, feature on single and album sleeves. Each doll represents a track on the album!

Clocks are:Tom Hewitt - Vocals/Guitar/Keys, Ed Hilliam - Vocals/Guitar, John Ricketts - Bass , Rich Farris - Drums
