Such A Scene / Her, You And I

KITCHENWARE RECORDS

Playing ultra melodic Americana tinged indie rock, Chicago four piece The Changes could well be the missing link between Big Star and Wilco.

Making their UK debut, single SUCH A SCENE / HER, YOU AND I finds the band in blistering form; SUCH A SCENE even adding a trace of U2 esque epic rock bluster to their sound, windswept guitar histrionics raging beneath frontman Darren's pop fuelled melodies. The slower burning HER, YOU AND I calls back those Wilco references, Darren's vocal twang echoing Jeff Tweedy in its bittersweetness, the rest of the band building from stark lone guitarisms to a heady climax of dirty windmilling guitar chords and frantic drum crashes.

A single that announces The Changes as a band worthy of your devotion, a band who along with The Hold Steady could well be on the verge of kickstarting a fresh US centric indie rock revival; SUCH A SCENE / HER, YOU AND I is a thrilling start.

The Changes are Darren (Singer/guitar,) Dave (guitar / vocals / songwriter) Rob (bass) and Jonny (drums) & they all man the keys. In combination they make up four of Chicago's favorite sons. The quartet self-produced their forthcoming debut long player entitled Today Is Tonight which will properly introduce The Changes to the world care of Drama Club Records in the US and Kitchenware in the UK and Europe.

The Changes were the only unsigned band on 2005's Lollapalooza, and as a band's band, have played with the likes of Stephen Malkmus, Kaiser Chiefs, Ted Leo, The Futureheads, The Walkmen and more. The Changes have garnered raves and accolades in a slew of the most discriminating music magazines', critics' and blogs' pick lists and radio programs, including Billboard, Time Out Chicago, The New York Times, Brooklyn Vegan (blog), USA Today (blog), featured segments on NPR & KEXP, and even landed in a full page feature in the NME appropriately entitled "The Buzz".
