Belarus and Seven Years On - the Faringdon Connection

Faringdon is a little market town in between Oxford and Swindon. I've never stopped there but I've driven through loads of time on my way to and from the Cotswolds. There are two bands who both list Faringdon/Swindon as their location. First there is Belarus who play epic, sweeping Indie with a swagger. Check out the video to their last single Standing In The Right Place:

Secondly, there is a new band Seven Years On. For me, they are immediately important because this is three ex-members of Latitude Blue. Latitude Blue released a near perfect EP called Searching For Perfect a couple of years ago. The new band are still in their very early days but beyond the driving guitars there is a voice at work with that touch of Bourbon and far too many cigarettes.
