HEY CHARLIE LOVE MACHINE

Not to be confused with the iconic Girls Aloud track by the same name, all-female three-piece Hey Charlie drop ‘Love Machine’. Gloriously defying every stereotype of a girl-group, the three ladies: Lizz (guitarist & vocalist), Sophie (bassist & vocalist) and Lauren (drums) are experts in creating super grungy indie  – a trait celebrated in the raucous video which accompanies the track.  It’s also the antithesis of every standard love song:  "Love Machine is for anyone who’s fallen in love too quickly and it’s all gone wrong too fast” – say the band of the track. And if you’re on the festival circuit this year you’ll be sure to catch Hey Charlie live – they’re doing RADAR, Liverpool Sound City, Neighbourhood, Live at Leeds and When in Manchester. These girls are set up for something very special indeed. -HM
