10 Bands From The 2000s You've Definitely Forgotten

Larrikin Love are what would’ve happened if the Lost Boys from Peter Pan and the street urchins from Oliver Twist got together and formed a band. A decade on from the one album wonder of a career and their fresh faced, naïve purity is still present now as it was back then.

It's folksy charm with bluegrass hues, a cross between Pete Doherty and loveable mongrel puppy that was loved by those that knew them. Basically, Larrikin Love are Mumford and Sons without all the BS and hunter wellies.

It’s music from the field and meadows, it feels like gypsy music to be honest. With the stomps and fiddle playing, the twanging guitars and bubbling drums, Larrikin Love are a tapestry sound of differing genres that makes them difficult to place in the record collection.

Guttural vocals that sound as if the singer has been gargling gravel, a ramshackle chimney sweeps aesthetic and songs that frankly demand to be repeated, Larrikin Love are the forgotten giant of the British Indie Scene.

If The Libertines owned London, then Larrikin Love had the green belt all to themselves.
