In the run up to the release of their debut EP 'Too Much A Hunter' out April 29th 2013 on Communion records, Kent quintet Story Books release a touching video for the EP's open track 'Simple Kids'.
Like their namesake, it is a kind of story-telling video touching on life as young students going through the experimentations of drugs and alcohol and, most importantly, the thrills and heartbreak of young love. It's a dreamy ballad with slow, but heavy drums, tender vocals and a simple but highly infectious melody that makes for truly easy listening. The new EP makes for an exceptional debut, self-produced by Story Books in Sittingbourne with the help of Tony Doogan. With their early demos receivable a remarkable amount of praise from the likes of XFM and BBC Radio 1, it's no wonder they have since had several sold out London shows and a support slot for the NME award nominated Bloc Party.
Story Books; who are vocalist Kristofer Harris, drummer Robert Wilks, bassist Joseph Whitnell, keyboardist Andrew Parry and guitarist Jack Tarrant; are set for a major tour this Spring across the UK, first as the main support for King Charles and then as headliners at several shows including the Dot to Dot Festival at Manchester, Bristol and Nottingham as well as Brighton's Great Escape Festival.
