Someone recently said to me “the only good band to come out of Loughborough is the Young Knives”. This isn’t true; the Young Knives are technically from Ashby-de-la-Zouch. However, the statement may soon be inaccurate on a second count. Penfold Gate (a misspelling of a street in the town) are getting plenty of local attention and are surely soon destined to break free from the overcrowded Loughborough music scene. The fact that they haven't been signed already is baffling.

I challenge anyone to listen to ‘Here It Is’ and resist the temptation to tap their foot. The song opens with a snappy, danceable drum beat and bass line. The guitar builds charmingly, moving in to an anthemic chorus which longs for the listener to sing along. This infectious tune will one day be belted out at indie discos across the land. My personal favourite ‘Alive In Years’ shows both lyrical and musical maturity which you don’t expect from such a new band. The new songs show considerable promise too. As if this wasn't enough, as a live act Penfold Gate exhibit technical ability (provided they're sober) to match their chemistry and enthusiasm.
