Tall Ships – Hit The Floor

“In only three and a half minutes, it’s easy to imagine how the band cultivated a reputation for boisterous live shows. The song is smart and sharp yet party-ready enough for you to grab a drink and, well, hit the floor.”Filter Magazine

Happy day-after-Columbus-Day everybody! And speaking of trans-Atlantic conquering, our favorite Brits, Tall Ships, are making their way over to the U-S-A next week for CMJ!!

Paper Garden first discovered Tall Ships via The Lovely Hearts Club a few months back and have been itching to work with the band more ever since – and it certainly doesn’t hurt that their UK label, Big Scary Monsters, just happens to be the same label releasing PGR’s Dad Rocks! in the UK.  In addition to our own excitement about Tall Ships the band has been building quite the buzz and following on their own, playing a slew of Summer Festivals (Bestival, The Great Escape, Hop Farm) and touring with both We Are Scientists and Minus The Bear.

We’re extremely psyched that they’ll be playing our Paper Garden Records showcase at The Living Room on Tuesday 10/18! Tall Ships in a Living Room… get ready for some indie-rock madness. So if you’re going to be around for CMJ make sure to come by at 4pm sharp, grab a beer and let Tall Ships blow your mind!

Today also marks the premier of their new single, “Hit the Floor“, which you can find over at Filter.com! Check it out here: http://filtermagazine.com/index.php/media/entry/mp3_tall_ships_hit_the_floor_us_premiere/

Lovely Hearts Club Presents: Tall Ships – Plate Tectonics

The incredible talent of the UK band Tall Ships is something of an open secret among indie-philes this side of the pond. We at The Lovely Hearts Club have been fans since we were first heard their hypnotic, self-titled debut EP last year. Then we featured their label-mates Dad Rocks! earlier this year and were reminded of how much we’ve dug all of the bands we’ve heard on British label Big Scary Monsters. Imagine our delight when Tall Ships offered up their stunning single and video for “Plate Tectonics” to share with all of our readers.

The trio resides in Brighton, where they have developed a size-able fan-base thanks to their lush, complex, hard-to-pin-down sound. While they often draw comparisons to math-rock bands, such as Battles, or post-punk-revival indie bands, such as the Futureheads, Tall Ships’ songs are entirely their own unique brand of rock. The band is gearing up to record a new album in August, which should be available in spring 2012, and we are already eagerly awaiting it. In the meantime, we’re sating our appetites with this great track – and keep an eye out for their new 7-inch, “Hit The Floor/Safe As Houses”.
