We came across this lovely four piece from London at Underground Festival in Gloucester. We go every year with the objective to find some amazing new music, and this year was continuing along with the trend. On the Sunday afternoon we came across Passport To Stockholm, a band that incorporates the usual Guitars along with a folk drum-kit and a cello. The last time we saw a band use a Cello was Grammatics a few years back, and how I've missed the sound of one of those!
So the track that stood out in their set was "Wanted It More", it's a lovely delicate folk-pop track on the same level of quality as The Lumineers' and with vocals that remind you of a young Mumford. But the band are not to be compared to them easily as they've got great stage presence and a wonderful backing of tracks to grab your attention. Here the usual Bass Guitar is replaced by a Cello, which really works for the track and it looks like the band have created a stand-out track that'll see them get signed in no time! Passport To Stockholm have a great batch of songs on their soundcloud account, just click and listen - it'll be the best thing you're going to listen to all week!
