These chaps are good friends of mine, Brighton based, bluesy soulful rock band is probably the best description.  Recommend you check them out, especially a track called Lullaby - killer.  Unsigned at the moment, not sure how to be honest as its top class…  Anyway, listen to them here:  http://www.myspace.com/gentlemanstarkey
