The Tacticians - Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys/Get A Move On

Following the success of their first acclaimed single, London’s Alright/Hardcore Porn, The Tactician’s are back with more of their distinctive urban folk sound. Brothers Ollie & Joe Jr, who form the core of this London based band, have a soft spot for perfect three-minute pop songs about dangerous liaisons, temptation, failure, heartbreak & love in the big city, accompanied by soulful guitars, glockenspiel & sweet harmony vocals.

Inspired by countless arguments about Playstations and football, Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys deals with an undeniable fact of life. Listing girls’ influences as ‘James Dean, Vaseline…’, this song is guaranteed to raise a smile. Northern soul inspired Get A Move On kicks of with a repeated countryesque electric guitar riff that will be stuck in your head all day, and builds up to passionate vocals, pumping drums, horns and even a tambourine; if you’re not dancing then there’s something wrong with you. Bonus track Respectfully Proceeding is hypnotic and highly sexually charged, with lyrics that would seduce any girl.

Verdict: The Tacticians combine insanely catchy, danceable tunes with lyrics that everyone can identify with – you can’t help but get hooked!
