53mph

Like the best song Pavement never wrote....

XFM London Radio favorite in the early noughties and a regular on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's HitRecord - 53mph has been releasing music since 2001 when their debut single Ivory Coast got A-listed to London radio and then national radio. There followed gigs at the historic London Borderline, 12 bar club, and Metro opening for the likes of Miles Hunt (Wonderstuff). Now based in Italy, 53mph has produced music for theatre and indie films as well as being a major contributor to HitRecord projects including YouTube Originals, Zappos and HitRecord's Emmy award winning TV show.

John Kennedy XFM favourite
‘unshakeable post-Brit pop harmonies...championed by XFM'
Dazed and Confused
‘crisp, well-thought-out rock that draws equally on American and British influences…..both like the Kinks and some sort of Pavement off shoot.
Record Collector
‘You know when you hear something and it gets so stuck in your head it’s almost impossible not to hear it anymore? Well the a-side of this record is one of those songs. Sounding like the best Pavement song Pavement never recorded…’
Strange Fruit
‘It’s everything Blur tried and failed to achieve in their Pavement Phase.’
Josh Rinkoff – Rocksbackpages.com
‘Imagine if Lou Reed had been locked in the All Seeing I’s studio, and you’re halfway there.’
Record Collector
’..a gem has been uncovered...like the fresh faced, loveable lo-fi Beck of old.’
