About

“…shoulders dipping, feet moving and hands clapping. They are a blast of pure sunshine, a funk/soul/highlife tornado and the perfect party band.” – Bristol24/7

London’s Cable Street Collective have been favourites on the festival circuit since the release of their first EP, The Best of Times, in 2014, and have built up a stellar reputation as a live band. Live highlights include: Latitude, Secret Garden Party, Electric Picnic, Great Estate Festival (just before Manic Street Preachers!),Boardmasters, Glastonbury (Avalon), Shambala, Boomtown, The Isle of Wight, Bestival, Wilderness and Lake of Stars Festival (Malawi). Recent supports have included Molotov Jukebox, The Dualers and Go_A!.  Lake of Stars Festival (Malawi).

Their sound mixes upbeat rhythms and Congolese-influenced guitar sounds with soulful female vocals, socially conscious lyrics and western melodies, creating an idiosyncratic alt-pop sound that’s all their own. Their sets are guaranteed to get everyone to their feet.

Their recent relases have earnt them critical plaudits and radio play on BBC Radio 6Music, Radio X and Amazing Radio, among others. All singles released from their latest album Battle Lines have enjoyed support from BBC Radio 6Music.
