Hailing from the pit of mind numbing awfulness that is Stoke-on-Trent, Agent Blue have been building a live following and have been compared to The Music, Joy Division and The Skids amongst others.

Snowhill itself has rapid, garage rock, guitars cutting across the rumbling bass while the chorus screams metal and the verses blend psychedelia and old skool indie. Agent Blue are varied without sounding like a disparate collection of ideas.

All in all Snowhill is an impressive debut that pulls in influences from punk, psychedelia, Madchester and metal to create an almighty powerful mix.
