Bob Dylan, the Byrds and the energy of the Clash have influenced the bright, jangly sound of this British quartet as their terrific debut EP suggest. Two message-conscious songs, “The Stand” and “Marching On,” offer the sort of robust melodies and harmonies the industry needs to revitalize AOR. A refreshing new entry.
