Devon cream

TRUMPETS, sax and a whole lot of weirdness is probably the best way to sum up Devon band The Rumble Strips.

Critics have declared the quintet — Charlie Waller (vocals/guitar) Henry Clark (keyboards/trumpet) Tom Gorbutt (sax/bass) Matthew Wheeler (drums) and Sam Mansbridge (bass/percussion) — “awe inspiring” and “wonderfully orchestrated”.

Second album “Welcome to The Walk Alone” — follow up to 2007 debut “Girls and Weather” — was produced by Mark Ronson in New York.

Catch The Rumble Strips live at Manchester Academy 3 tomorrow.
