Hope Street is the debut album from Glaswegian four-piece Kassidy. These young folksters have been getting a range of comparisons, from Elbow to Mumford and Sons. But I’m sure that’s just to do with the facial hair.
That’s not to say fans of Mumford etc will not like Kassidy, because at its heart Hope Street is a folk-pop album. It is obvious though that there are many influences in this 12-track debut, with some blues and country elements weaving in. How very un-Glasgow. That Old Song is a great example, with bluesy tones and a hint of chimes. It would not be out of place in a Western...Kassidy – Hope Street
