Earlier in the week we featured Sheffield band Twin Bears, and well, like busses, these things always seem to come in twos – so, from the same northern climes, allow us to present Kartica. Debut single Don’t You Think So manages to pretty much encompass anyone who was anyone during the heights of 90s Britpop; big, grey-sky guitar lines with a vocal halfway between your Gallaghers and Ashcrofts. In its more tuneful moments, there’s even a touch of the Doves and the Bunnymen, a plaintiff to carry the baton of British lad-rock on to the next generation. With recent efforts from the likes of The Enemy proving to be particularly uninspiring, Kartica offer a well-polished alternative.
