The Rumble Strips

Devon four-piece The Rumble Strips are best known for incorporating brass into their alt rock sound, giving them a unique edge over other run-of-the-mill alt rock groups. Formally formed in 2004, the four childhood friends had their first two releases on Transgressive Records: first with the No Soul/Motorcycle double-A side in January 2006, and then Hate Me You Do in June. The group then signed with Island Records' UK division, Fallout Records. Their first release with the label was the Cardboard Coloured Dreams EP in November, followed by the first single from the album, Alarm Clock in March 2007. A full release of Motorcycle was next in June, with final pre-album single Girls And Boys In Love dropping a week before the album, Girls And Weather, was released on 10th September. The final Tony Hoffer-produced single, Time, was released in November. The group then attracted the attention of Mark Ronson, who decided to produce the group's follow up. London was the first new track, released as a download-only single in March 2009. The first and only physical single was Not The Only Person in June, with the album, Welcome To The Walk Along, following in July. Motorcycle's video is below, with downloads below that.
