I love it when a genuinely lovely new band lands in your inbox, and I love it even more when the person emailing is polite, personal and well-informed. Bern & the Brights made a wonderful first impression on me, and it was after listening to their lovely violin-infused alternative-pop tunes a good few times that I realised regretfully that I wouldn’t be able to see the US-based band live in the UK quite yet.
Bern & the Brights have gloriously catchy tunes with solid musical integrity still attached. ‘Sleepless Aristotle’ is probably my favourite track (available as a free download below), but each of their songs showcases something special, and I’d highly recommend getting your hands on a copy of their latest release ‘Swing Shift Maisies’ here.
