London-based quintet The Gresham Flyers are the hybrid of their diverse geographical backgrounds (north, midlands, south and Slough) and the best bits of your record collection, all sprinkled with a little sugar - David Gedge fronting an unruly combination of Sparks and Pulp.

Describing their sound as “Classy, energetic pop, boy/ girl singers, handclaps, and hooks you can hang your duffel coat on”, the band pride themselves on their instrument-swapping diversity and ear for a good hook, based around the diverse influences of the band- from the indie storytelling of Pulp & Belle & Sebastian … , to the electronic washes of New Order or Sparks, to the manic strum of The Wedding Present to the classy pop-rock of Roxy Music, 10cc and The Tubes

As well as a growing live reputation with names such as Bearsuit, Saturday Looks Good To Me and The Ladybug Transistor, the band gained more fans with the release of their 2006 7inch single ‘Shiftwork’. Rough Trade called it “a cracking little single that is sure to announce the band to the wider world”, and were shocked at the demand created by this limited blue-tinged seven-inch. Copies are still available- just drop us a message!

On top of contributing standout track ‘Blackpool’ to the critically-acclaimed compilation “The Kids At The Club” on How Does It Feel Records, the band released their debut album ‘Sex With Strangers’ in July 2008.

The album is available on Amazon and directly from the Cherryade Records website here: http://www.cherryademusic.co.uk/buysws.html and the first 50 buyers will receive a free copy of our debut single Shiftwork!
