Info for Under Your Sky



By the tail end of 2018, The Sherlocks begged to be allowed back into the studio. In stark contrast to the sessions for their debut album, recorded in late-night sessions at the cut-off, rural Rockfields in Wales, this time they opted to record at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios with The Coral’s James Skelly at the desk for the four weeks running up to Christmas, knocking off at six o’clock Monday to Friday to head into town for snooker, beer and a debrief on the day’s work. The result was a tighter, brighter, ultra-modern alt-rock record, benefiting from Skelly’s knack for focusing a killer chorus, less indebted to indie rockers of old and smattered with stylistic swerves into new wave, ‘80s textures and all-out feedback freakouts. It’s as Killers, Cars, High Flying Birds and Two Door Cinema Club as it is Catfish. A real 21st Century guitar rock record.

“The first album was us four in a room,” Kiaran says. “We wanted to make it really raw like the Arctic Monkeys’ first album or Kings Of Leon’s. We wanted to capture the live sound and polish it up a bit. It was a straight-up rock’n’roll record, there weren’t many tricks going off. With this one we’ve taken it a step further and made it slightly smoother and put more keyboards in. Rather than having the guitars thrashing all the time we’ve tried being a bit sweeter with it. It sounds more contemporary, I can hear it on Radio 1.”

And you will too. Meanwhile, Kiaran claims to already have half of album three in the bag, which is already hinting at The Sherlock’s next step towards total rock domination. “It’s quite upbeat.,” Kiaran says. “A lot of bands get to their third album and take a weird turn, thinking outside of the box. I think I know what a good melody is and we’ll try different things on each record and push ourselves a lot more but I’d never stick some weird production on to try to mask a bad song. We like big anthemic sing-alongs like The Killers would write, so that’s the direction we’re heading in, aiming for stadiums.”

Considering how accurate The Sherlocks’ aim has been so far, an elementary deduction.

The Sherlocks
Comprising two pairs of brothers (vocalist/guitarist Kiaran Crook and drummer Brandon Crook; bassist Andy Davidson and guitarist Josh Davidson), the Sherlocks are an indie rock quartet formed in the summer of 2010 in the small village of Bolton upon Dearne in Sheffield, U.K. The four friends initially began jamming covers in each other's garages before moving on to perform gigs in the local working-men's clubs. The boys began penning their own songs, working them gradually into their sets, which eventually became live favorites. With newfound confidence, they decided to tackle bigger venues in Sheffield, one at a time. It didn't take long for the goal to be realized, and the band went on to be the first unsigned act since fellow Sheffield rockers Arctic Monkeys to sell out the city's iconic Leadmill venue.

The 2010s saw continuous resounding success for the Sherlocks, as they released their first single, "Live for the Moment," in 2014, followed by second and third singles "Escapade" and "Heart of Gold" in 2015. In particular, "Heart of Gold" received frequent airplay from BBC Radio 1 and Radio 6. Alongside dominating the airwaves, they also made their stamp on the stage with performances at the 2015 and 2016 Reading and Leeds Festivals, followed by support slots for the Courteeners and the Libertines. They also began to build stateside attention with an appearance at the 2016 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. The fall of 2016 saw the Sherlocks release their fifth single, "Will You Be There?," followed by their signing to Infectious Records that Christmas. They started 2017 with a bang when the limited-edition 7" version of "Will You Be There?" entered the official U.K. vinyl singles chart at number one. This was followed by the band's first headlining tour of the U.K., along with the announcement that their debut full-length, Live for the Moment, would arrive later that year.

Following the release of the album, the group headed out on tour in support of it across the U.K., Europe, and the U.S. in 2018, as well as supporting Liam Gallagher on his European tour. By the end of the year, the band had returned to the studio, Liverpool's Parr Street, to record their sophomore release. With the Coral's James Skelly at the controls, the group spent four weeks crafting a more meticulous album than their debut. The Sherlocks issued the first track from the album, "NYC (Sing It Loud)," in June 2019; the album, Under Your Sky, followed a few months later, along with a full U.K. tour. (Rob Wacey, AMG)
