Details:
The Strawheads are Cambridgeshire singer songwriters Graham Buxton and Stephen Bottomley who write perform their own particular brand of catchy sophisticated guitar pop. The acclaimed partnership first started song-writing and performing over 10 years ago as The Sun kings and has gigged extensively around the UK and although remaining unsigned, they have gathered many illustrious fans along the way:

George Martin said of them âa refreshing blend of song craft and performanceâ as he voted for them in the grand final of the Yamaha Best Of British Band Competition held at Abbey Road studios.

Radio 2s Whispering Bob Harris said of them âInfectious melodic tunes, great lyrics and lasting hooksâ.

The Strawheads have a very distinctive sound featuring vocal duets that emanate soaring melodies welded with perfectly constructed lyrics that grab their listenerâs attention without being too heavy or dirgey. The lazy Lennon-esque gravel of Grahamâs voice is wonderfully blended with the smoothness and scope of Steveâs voice to produce spine tingling moments of magic in every song. Each song is thoughtfully constructed and emotively delivered to have their audiences hooked with indelible choruses and thought provoking content. This is the thinking manâs pop. Commercial â yet credible.

Contrast the provocative narrative âNone Of the Aboveâ and âBut hey, Happy Christmasâ to the simple yet powerful lyric of âBetter By The Glassâ or the stunning ballad âCaution To The Windâ and you will get an immediate taste for the Sun Kingâs welcome brand of music.

The Strawheads are prolific song-smiths and have a catalogue of unreleased gems that are certain to grace the serious music loverâs virtual or actual shelves.
