One Night Only

The Shallow Call

We are very proud to announce that The Shallow Call will be playing live at One Night Only!

Salt. Chemicals. Apathy. Subsidence. Northwich is a town notable for little, but it was here that The Shallow Call drifted out of school and into a band. Brought together through a love of The Smiths, Clash, Phil Spector, good storytellers, Sailor Jerry rum and general suburban mischief, they began to write songs about casual sex and casual violence. Pithy odes to small-town syndrome rapscallions who’ve probably spilt more than you’ll ever drink. Oh, and the fact that bands don’t tend to bother writing good lyrics any more, right?

Having either played or worked with the likes of The Charlatans, The Enemy and The Pigeon Detectives. Having the Yoda of music, Steve Lamacq, name their debut release his Single of The Week, followed up by a place in his top ten Singles of The Year. Having Stone Roses / Charlatans biographer, John Robb, describe the band as “The soundtrack to a generation; the sort of tunes that need to be heard.” The Shallow Call are a band that must be recognised for a great live show, lyrics that haven't been tossed off on the back of a fag packet, volume, melody and general handsomeness.
