A Liverpool band that mixed pop hooks with northern soul and Dave McCabe's oddball lyrics.
For their sound, start with 'Valerie.' For their weirder side, try 'Havana Gang Brawl.'
They wrote 'Valerie,' a song that became a standard after Amy Winehouse covered it. Their debut 'Who Killed the Zutons?' had a loose, catchy feel that stood out in the mid-2000s. Tracks like 'Don't Ever Think (Too Much)' show their knack for a good, slightly weird groove.
They formed in Liverpool in the early 2000s and released their debut in 2004. After two more albums, they went on hiatus around 2009 and came back in 2014 with 'On Vacation.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
