Dexters - Start To Run (Demo) by dextersband
Hailing from east London, Dexters are a looking to graduate from a string of support slots, to make their mark in their own right with today's track of the day Start To Run.
"Lyrically we look to Ray Davies and The Kinks, our songs are stories and tales. That's so important to us," says singer and chief songwriter Tom Rowlett of one of two main the father figures who helped inspire the band. The other is actually his dad.
"My Dad used to play the harmonica in blues bands around the East End, just in spit and sawdust pubs," he explains. "I used to follow him about and sit on the side of the stage, watching him with a bottle of coke in my hand and a packet of crisps. I loved it. Afterwards I'd sit next to my dad and listen to him and the band talking about Leadbelly and Howlin' Wolf and old gigs that they played."
