Talented teens have been emerging from the UK music world for awhile now, and younger US artists such as The Orwells have begun making a mark as well. We now welcome The Districts, who are already getting tons of UK attention. They’re all 19 and 20, and they hail from the little town of Lititz, Pennsylvania. If this song is any indication, they could be one of this year’s big stories. This guitar-oriented band’s debut album “Telephone” has been out a year. The follow-up is “A Flourish and a Spoil”, which drops the second week of February. Their musical intricacies make them sound like a deeply seasoned group well beyond their years, with inventive instrumentation and some dope changes. Frontman Rob Grote delivers one of the stronger vocals you’ll hear. They’ve been a touring machine for awhile, including an October trek opening for Temples. Look for them to hit much of the US in February and March. Reviewed by Bruce Rave.
