Bombay Bicycle Club, the indie rock band from Crouch End in London, hit a new stride with A Different Kind of Fix, their 2011 album on Island. Formed in 2005 around Jack Steadman on vocals, guitar and piano, Jamie MacColl on guitar and Suren de Saram on drums, with Ed Nash joining on bass a year later, they had won a competition that landed them the opening slot at V Festival in 2006, then worked their way up through a couple of EPs and the single "Evening/Morning".
The band never sat still, flirting with folk, electronica and sounds from far beyond London while keeping guitars at the front. "Shuffle" is the proof: a skipping hook and a bouncing beat that make the whole thing feel like a sunny afternoon on fast-forward. So Long, See You Tomorrow went to the top of the album chart in February 2014, with the woozy, shimmering "Luna" among its songs.
In January 2016 all four stepped back for solo projects, Nash recording as Toothless and Steadman as Mr Jukes. Three years on, in January 2019, they announced they were back together, playing and making new music again.
