In 10 years' time, Sheffield upstarts The Sherlocks want to be the biggest band in the world. With their unquenchable ambition and rip-roaring indie-rock, they might just be onto something.
Unafraid of rousing riffs and fist-pumping choruses, theirs is a sound destined for the BBC Radio 1 A-list and festival stages up and down the country.
The band were formed in Sheffield when brothers Josh (guitar) and Andy (bass) Davidson moved in next door to brothers Kiaran (vocals/guitar) and Brandon (drums) Crook’s grandparents.
Bonding over their mutual love of football and music, the brothers found friendship through their passion for British giants like Arctic Monkeys, The Beatles, The Libertines and Oasis.
After several jamming sessions that took place in the dying days of 2010, The Sherlocks were born.
Now with over 500 gigs under their belt, including their first ever headline tour of the UK, the band are busy working on their debut album.
Fast becoming one of indie’s hottest tickets, they were hand-picked by The Libertines to open their arena tour in January, and they’ve just been hailed ‘the UK’s next big rock band’ by American blog Consequence Of Sound.
We caught up with the four-piece ahead of their PRS for Music Foundation-funded BBC Introducing show at SXSW later this month to learn more about their raucous sound…
We first started making music because…
It’s something we all have a big passion for.
We have been making music since…
We started jamming in a conservatory in 2010 and it just escalated…
Our music is…
Boisterous uplifting music with observational lyrics.
You'll like our music if you listen to...
Real guitar bands!!!
Our favourite venue is…
The Sheffield Leadmill - grew up watching our favourite bands in there. Then it blew us away when we played our first sold out headline show there!
Music is important because…
It's what brings people together all over the world.
Our biggest inspiration is…
The Beatles are our heroes.
Our dream collaboration would be…
To work with Kelly Jones from Stereophonics would be a dream. His songwriting is genius!
To try us out, listen to our song…
Live For The Moment.
If we weren’t making music we’d be…
No idea, we don't have a plan B. Ever since we started gigging we haven't looked back. This is something we can see ourselves doing for the next 50 years.
In 10 years’ time we want to be…
The biggest band on the planet!
