The Harriets began as two solitary songwriters, who'd been looking to form a band after playing the Leeds open-mic circuit solo on acoustic guitars.
Thrown together at a house party, we found ourselves making a jangly, melodic sound that owed a little to the Smiths and a little to the Beatles. With a natural baritone-tenor vocal harmony on top, and tons of material between us, we had a recipe to work from. |
Our live shows that year culminated with the launch of the EP at Wharf Chambers in Leeds, which we put on ourselves to resounding success.
Fiction is Not Imagination, reviewing the night, celebrated our 'authentic and exceedingly charming chemistry on stage' and 'incredibly varied' set. |

Home recording - spring/summer '17In the spring and summer of '17, we recorded 'The Hangers On' and 'Celandine' in Dan's flat, on his 32-track Tascam recorder. We released it with the valuable support of Jumbo Records in Leeds, getting airplay on BBC Introducing and winning us support and funding from Higher Rhythm and Help Musicians UK's Breakthrough programme.
