Little Comets are an English indie rock trio, hailing from Jarrow and Washington, Tyne and Wear. They were formed in 2008.
Despite first beginning to make music together at a time when guitar music was slowly on the fade and when eighties synthpop throwbacks were fast becoming king, Little Comets seemed to have no problem whatsoever nailing their colours to the mast; they described their own sound and approach as ‘kitchen sink indie’, and it’s perhaps this candor and honesty - both in terms of their approach and their lyricism - that has won them a cult fanbase in their homeland, as well as a record deal with Columbia.
After having enjoyed national airplay of their early singles on BBC Radio 1, the band - comprising frontman Robert Coles, guitar player Michael Coles and bassist Matt Hall as full-time members - released their well-received debut album, ‘In Search of Elusive Little Comets’, in 2011, and have since followed it up with two more - the quick-fire sequel ‘Life Is Elsewhere’ in 2012 and ‘HOPE IS JUST A STATE OF MIND’ in 2014. They’ve toured the UK extensively, both on their own headline jaunts and in support of artists like The Noisettes and Hockey; their success further afield has so far been limited, but it’s difficult to envisage that remaining to be the case for too much longer.
