2010 has all the makings of a year to remember for We Have Band. Having recently signed their album to Naïve, France’s biggest independent record label, the London-based three-piece are now getting set for a full European live tour incl. some dates Germany, a summer of festivals and the release of their debut album ‘WHB’ this April.
It may actually surprise you that they’ve still only released three official singles to date; such has been their impact since bursting onto the live scene in 2008. Praised by both fans and critics alike, Thomas, Dede and Darren have done most of their work on the road, wowing crowds and forcing people to dance across Europe, Russia and North America (and all without a label!).
Having started last year with a fantastic first experience of SXSW, the band went on to release their second single ‘You Came Out’ through Kill Em All, remix the likes of Bloc Party, Micachu and Peter Bjorn and John, and head to their first ever Glastonbury Festival as winners of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Contest. The band followed that by performing notable high turnout sets at Latitude, Great Escape and Secret Garden and recently completed the recording of their debut 12-track LP with the help of producer Gareth Jones (Grizzly Bear, Interpol, Depeche Mode, These New Puritans).
‘Divisive’, taken from the album encapsulates everything that people have come to love from WHB, combining multi-layered percussion with high rising synths, punk-funk bass and entwined vocals. One of the charms that We Have Band possess is their ability to share the limelight, each using their talents to get the maximum out of every song they perform. ‘Divisive’ is no different, acting as the perfect taster for what’s to come in April with their debut LP. Backed up with an amazing remix package including Carl Craig, Mr Township Funk DJ Mujava, Gomma artist Golden Bug and more, it’s safe to say this is coming soon to dancefloor near you.
