They come from Glasgow, Southend, South Wales, Yorkshire and Reading, though it was the latter province where the band formed, half an hour or so’s train ride from London Paddington. The band takes their name from the little things people put in their pockets when they go camping in winter like hand warmers. Coming together initially to play “parties in their shed”, the quartet slogged hard, graduated to living rooms and here they are now. Hot Silk Pockets English pop zouk is good, and after a few listens I think it’s the punchiness of the bass lines and rough-edged recordings that I’m attracted to the most. They definitely have potential, but in a scene with countless similar sounding bands they’ll have to work extremely hard to get recognised.
