The hardest working band in Britain, aka The Wave Pictures, have been firm favourites on this website for pretty much ever. Its great loving a band like this because new material, in one form or another, is never far away. And by this I mean quality releases like Long Black Cars (an album proper) and frontman David Tattersall's second solo album Little Martha, both released in 2012, not put out for the sake of it (in a Ryan Adams kind of way), but for the love of it. 2013 sees them still going strong with a new album, an ingenious "dad rock" video and a substantial UK tour (see below for details). Here, David Tattersall takes time out to talk about his oft-surprising record collection. The new album, City Forgiveness comes out October 21st on the ever reliable Moshi Moshi label.
