The Answering Machine
The Answering Machine sat in their bedroom in Manchester with little heaters and wrote songs in winter 2005/2006, while it snowed a little, the radiator dripped and the heating broke down. Even though they had cold hands and had to wear mittens in between songs Martin, Pat and Gemma worked on songs influenced by their heroes The Strokes, The Radio Dept., The Brilliant Corners and Shout Out Louds - to create their own style of imaginative, melodic, poetic and joyous pop music. The guitars are sparkling and fresh, the bass lines bounce around with slick melodic phrases, and Martin's voice is nothing short of raw, passionate and heartbreaking. Things that make The Answering Machine happy are biscuits with chocolate on (although chocolate is not essential), anoraks with toggles, frisbees and knitwear.
