The 4 piece Hair are based in York and Leeds and play what you’d call Northern Guitar Music. There’s a touch of the Roses and rather more of York’s best export since Kit Kat, Shed Seven (don’t titter, they were very underrated) and this EP shows four very different faces of the band. ‘Brick Supply’ is quite intriguing because of the insistent fairground organ riff running through it and the crazed Robert Smith vocal and Cure-ish guitar. ‘Left Foot, Right Foot’ is a heavier, funkier track, sounding like The Music, but you’d be advised not to obey the instructions for your feet or you’ll dance in a circle. ‘Jigsaw Ballard’ sounds a little like a more obscure late Creation band while ‘Bunny Boiler’ is a punk-funk Rapture-ish tune with a sample of dialogue from Jaws. This is an easy-on-the ears EP that keeps the interest because of the range of disparate influences and , according to the band, is the backbone of their new set. They’re next playing on 8 April at Cuba Café in Manchester and 26 April at The City Screen in York.
