Shana Tova

"Spangly Lo-Fi innocence like it was made out of egg boxes and yoghurt pots and glued together with alt. rock PVA comes from Shana Tova. Harmonic splendour and pulses of drumming genius ensure many will be bowled over by the Tova” Fly Magazine Nov/Dec 08. Shana Tova are a UK alternative rock trio. Their name means 'a sweet year' in Hebrew. The recorded material on the 'Shana Tova' EP exhibits a live energy. The band released their self-titled debut through Viann & Violet (Art & Music) in 2009.

Imagine what a quintessentially Victorian Englishman would sound like after being affected by Nick Cave's whole back catalogue. "His voice is incredibly distinct, a bit reminiscent of Antony and the Johnsons (he's probably fed up of being described thus) but my knowledge of haunting melodramatic singers is limited. It's kind of like you'd think Adgar Allen Poe might sing like, resonant and melancholy and a touch gothic and fragile." As written by some fellow on the EFestivals Website.
