Paradise is Eskimo Brit’s first single - it is reminiscent of late 90s Alanis Merriest, though less ironic, with a little bit of Pink thrown in.
The band is bolted together around female singer, songwriter and drummer SammyJo. Its hard to explain exactly why but Sammy’s style is one that hints at having spent a lifetime immersed in music and indeed that is the case; she started singing at 11, got her first drum kit at 15 and began touring the UIK as soon as she finished high school. Sammy met Chris Pickard (guitar/vocals) in Austin Texas and Lee Dawson (bass/vocals) was recruited soon after their return to the UK.
Paradise is bouncy power pop - smooth sounding and upbeat.
Oh and in case your were wondering Eskimo Brit don’t sound British, though they claim to come from Sheffield and Leeds and are quite clearly not Eskimos.
