“Rock and Roll doesn't need saving; the cure's right here." That's what David Fricke, the legendary Rolling Stone journalist said of The Len Price 3, an English pop band who deliver instantly memorable tunes with a vintage pop feel. With an ever growing and ferociously loyal worldwide following, twelve years and five albums under their belts, they remain the best kept secret in show business.
Their new release, ‘Kentish Longtails’ namechecks a piece of local folklore concerning a curse allegedly placed upon the people of Strood by Thomas à Becket which condemned the children of this town on the banks of the Medway to be born with tails. Thankfully tail-less, but with tall tales and colourful harmonies intact, The Len Price 3 have created an album full of timeless melodic gems with plenty of punk rock oomph and a sprinkling of sonic weirdness. Expect shiny pop hooks and rich lyrical content laden with wry social observations and acid-tongued retorts.
Glenn said, “With this album, we took a slightly different approach. Firstly, I chose to pretend I was writing for a different band on several songs, which was a liberating experience, and we also recorded most of the tracks ourselves in Neil's shed and Steve's garage. It was like three lads messing around with a tape recorder in their first band, so very relaxed and with a looser vibe”
