Hometown: Liverpool.Gulf could go either way. They could be massive, or they could just fizzle out towards cult curio status. The fate of Childhood and Temples – limited sales and medium-to-rave reviews, despite being as good as guitar-pop has got for years
Besides, despite the limpid loveliness of their guitars and lilting, aching melodies, they don’t seem to be one of those I-wanna-be-adored type bands. They’re not post-Smiths/Roses wannabes or big-mouthed Saviours of Indie, mainly because there is no indie left to be saved, and anyway, they’re too mired in melancholia to have delusions of grandeur.
The lineup: Joshua Gorman (drums), Jake Brown (bass), Mark Jones (lead vocals/synth/guitar), Femi Fadero (guitar/backing vocals), Thomas Murray (guitar/backing vocals).
