Hailing from Kent’s Medway Delta; that fabled corner of the Garden of England that spawned such cult acts as The Buff Medways, The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, the raw unfettered garage pop of The Len Price 3 could yet eclipse them all.
Tightly wound and stripped to the bone - from the adrenalin surge of Chinese Burn, their 2005 debut, its incredible 2007 follow-up Rentacrowd, and now the tour de force that is Pictures, The Len Price 3 have consistently delivered an abundance of three-minute thrills, overflowing with frenetic energy and indelible hooks. By turns gritty and punchy, their delivery is sweetened by impossible to forget melodies, Beatlesque harmonies and the innovative spirit of The Who, The Creation, and The Kinks at their peak.
On Pictures, the Len Price 3 further develop their mastery of melody and harmony, combining the crackling electricity of their live shows with more ambitious arrangements, instrumentation and deceptively mature songwriting.
Wicked Cool Chairman, Stevie Van Zandt calls Pictures "the band’s best album yet, and that’s saying a lot. The title track demonstrates why people compare the band favorably to the early Who."
In true Len Price 3 style, Glenn Page (vocals, guitar), Neil Fromow (drums, backing vocals) and Steve Huggins (bass), again recorded on analogue to capture the vintage, earthy sound that only tape can provide. Pictures is produced by The Len Price 3, Jim Riley, Graham Day, and Kris Harris with insight from Wicked Cool Records founder Stevie Van Zandt.
Picturesis an unforgettable set of quick-fire musical snapshots, about people the band have encountered, filled with observations, light and dark, of the world today.
The Len Price 3 will be making regular live incursions throughout the UK and Europe during 2010 and beyond.
Pictures will be released on CD and vinyl LP - in the Wicked Cool tradition, the vinyl album will also include a bonus CD with three ADDITIONAL tracks not available ANYWHERE else (sixteen tracks in total), offering a fantastic bonus for vinyl aficionados and record collectors alike.
