The SDF Collective were a band I had heard of in the NorthEast scene but I had never actually heard the band but we were waiting for Robots in Disguise earlier in the year and we were treated to the sounds of this local trio. I had only heard of the band and didn’t have a clue what kind of musical vision they had. Well I was shocked and amazed as I moved to the beat. Imagine early Selish C***, Underworld and Arab Strap forming an unlikely supergroup. It is a sound of a dystopian future, dance beats bouncing around indesirable lyrics. I have since received their demo and it perfectly highlights why I was enthusing to anyone who would listen about the band. It is rare to be excited for local groups and they certainly are a one to watch out for as they storm a venue near you with their synth fused dancefloor assaults. Never mind your hip stylised local Indie pop bands, this is where local music is exciting and challenging.
