Peggy Sue

Choir Of Echoes Peggy Sue

When Peggy Sue aka Rosa Rex, Katy Klaw and Olly Joyce first emerged in 2007 with their debut single Television, they arrived with the slightly unfortunate full name, Peggy Sue & the Pirates. Bringing to mind a CBeebies cartoon, its twee implications jarred with the band's scrappy, DIY indie-folk. Thankfully, by the time they'd released their debut album Fossils and Other Phantoms and 2011's John Parish-produced follow-up, Acrobats, the name had been streamlined and the sound had been given an almighty kick up the backside. Acrobats' seamless blend of traditional folk tropes and the glowering thrum of alt-rock is continued on the band's forthcoming third album, Choir of Echoes
