Hailing from the outskirts of Oxford, London Graffiti is an outfit that stitches elements of post punk and grunge with indie guitar melodies, resulting in a sound that’s at once reflective and anthemic. Featuring the talents of JP Davies on vocals and rhythm guitar, Paddy Chatterton on bass guitar, lead guitarist Warren Hobden and Chris Sinclair on drums, the band’s international roots lend a unique perspective to their creative process, which is deeply influenced by landscape, urban life and their own experiences.
Started by JP Davies and guitarist Warren Hobden, London Graffiti embarked on their musical journey in 2016, taking cues from iconic bands like Joy Division, Doves, Radiohead and The National. First unveiling their sound back in 2018 with their debut single “Kites,” last year they returned with their sophomore single “These Words.”
Winning over fans and tastemakers alike, the band’s second single earned radio support and landed in Get Radio’s Top 20 Singles of 2023. Now they bring us their latest release with their third single titled “Miracles,” offering the perfect taste of the latest chapter in their musical adventure.
Opened by airy clean guitar tones, an ethereal atmosphere sets as JP’s airy vocals glide in to thread delicate melodies carrying poignant lyricism. With the strike of drums, the song takes flight with gentle rhythm and jangly guitar tones, casting an elegant indie rock sound.
Above the lilting sway of the lightly punching drums and intricate layers of guitar and bass, graceful vocal melodies soar to craft a mesmeric scene of charming songwriting brought to life in a timeless sound. Rising with lofty lines, the song reaches anthemic heights driven by splashy drums and lifted by dazzling string textures to serve up a memorable finale before floating back down to a tender outro of vocals and acoustic guitar strums.
From start to finish, “Miracles” is a stunning display of London Graffiti’s songwriting talent and performance panache, delivering an enduring sound that’s sure to stand the test of time. As the band continues to impress with their studio releases, they’re currently performing a string of live shows with gigs across Oxfordshire and London throughout the summer, offering fans a chance to see them bring to life their music on stage.
