UNDIVINE TELEPHONELINE

https://youtu.be/iFJWLbKQgVo

A five-piece funk rock band from The Mighty Boro. UDTL’s sound is an unorthodox conglomerate of jazzy, grungy, funky jams that are constantly Evolving. The drums are relentless and thunderous thanks to Oscar McCall-Smith locking right into the pocket with wicked slap bass grooves and sixteenth note fingerfunk often leading the tracks From his brother Louie McCall-Smith (with the occasional fuzz wah solo) followed by the syncopated, slinky guitar riffs courtesy of Mr Finley Small  backed up with gritty distorted rhythmic guitar pulses coming from Billingham’s own Blaise Pickering the most recent and beloved addition to the band. As for vocals? Just ask Amy Watson to belt out a soaring high note or two - she’ll oblige you. Throw in some odd time signatures, tempo changes, mid song genre shifts, Addictive rap verses and punk influenced shouts and growls, and you may have just bottled the sound.
