The duo play garage/soul/rock n roll and write songs that combine a lyrical charm and ease with a sound thats full-bodied and powerful in spite of their stripped-down set-up. They take their influences from both sides of the Atlantic with a love for both the output of U.S labels such as Stax, Motown and Sun and for British sixties R and B bands such as The Small Faces, The Kinks and The Zombies. Jack Sandham and Wednesday Lyle have been playing together as Cowbell since late 2009 when they got together for a late night jam session and things took off from there. Three 7" singles followed over the next 18 months and they signed to Damaged Goods in 2012. After a busy summer of gigging Jack and Wednesday went into Gizzard to work on their debut album Beat Stampede. As well as a handful of their signature garage pop songs the album showcased more diversity, from the down-home country style finger picking of All in Good Time to the Delta Slide on the rollicking Tallulah. It also saw the introduction of Wednesday singing lead vocal on two songs the honky -tonk garage blues of Love Got me Down and the ethereal Castle Walls. All in all a great debut album.
