Release Notes:
Throw the melodies and harmonies of the 60s up in
the air, smash them into submission with the full-on
attack and energy of punk, add a distinctive vocal
style a la Costello or Tilbrook, and you have
Kelly's Heels. Led on guitar and vocals by Bob
Kelly, supported by the ferocious drumming of Jim
Kimberley and the groovy bass lines of Isobel
Morris, this is a band you can't afford to miss.
Though you can hear the influences of the British
greats - The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who - in the
music, the band blends those influences into a mix
that is both highly contemporary but also timeless,
producing a rich variety of stunning songs. Whether
it's the energy and punkish swagger of Bombshell
Baby, or the heart-rending poignancy of the ballad
Walk Alone, the versatility of Bob Kelly's
songwriting is a revelation. Londoner Bob Kelly
formed his first band with classmates at school in
England at the age of 9. His first band The Ashes
gigged regularly around London playing a
fast-and-furious brand of post-punk power pop.
Following a band name change to Kelly's Heel's, Bob
met Jim Kimberley, whose ability to match and, in
some cases, challenge, on drums the relentless pace
set by Bob on guitar, has led to a positive creative
partnership. The addition of the beautiful Isobel
Morris on bass and backing vocals completes the
line-up.The versatile Mr Kelly has also recently
provided guitar contributions to the BBC3 comedy
series Thieves Like Us, and will also soon be heard
on backing vocals on the forthcoming new Rinaldi
Sings album.
