THE RHYTHM METHOD
The Rhythm Method sit somewhere between Madness, Pet Shop Boys and The Streets. Rowan Martin and Joey Bradbury channel infectious pop, shining 80s synths and brass trumpets set beneath choruses with playful yet sincere lyrics about sex, drugs and love for the capital city. Suggs, Elton John and Mike Skinner are fans, the latter producing the UK reggae-tinged ‘Cruel’, while post-Brexit anthem ‘Party Politics’ and Fabric-referencing ‘Home Sweet Home’ are upbeat piano-house.
The ‘Single Life’ EP is out in June
