It’s been a while since I’ve found a band of boys to swoon over, but now in come The Scholars, an Oxford quintet that gives its Brit-rock contemporaries a run for their money. The group’s single, “This Heart’s Built to Break,” sets off its instrumental torrent right from the opening with drums and electric guitar slamming out a storm.
These guys aren’t exactly new to the scene either. In 2010, The Scholars were featured in the independent film Turbulence; they have made it onto festival stages, and shared bills with the awesome Two Door Cinema Club and The Boxer Rebellion.
Download the single for free at Bandcamp and follow the band on Facebook to keep up with what they’re doing.
