San Diego-based four-piece Transfer have had a taste of success and now they want more.
Having just come off the back of supporting Brandon Flowers on sold-out dates across America and the UK, they have been exposed to the high life, and now it’s just a matter of time before it comes.
“It has been an incredible experience for us,” frontman Matthew Molarius humbly admits. “When we played I felt like we really got an unexpectedly warm response. And after the last song of each set it was very reassuring to have a sold out audience cheer and be as receptive as they were. It was a really great experience for us as a band.”
Their sound, which borrows heavily from British back catalogues, employs a reverb-drenched, guitar-driven rock which has never failed to sell. All fingers point toward them being a big noise in 2011.
They are due to return to the UK early next year, with the intention being to strike while the iron’s hot and deliver upon mounting expectation. So how important is the UK to Transfer’s long-term plans?
“It is for me, especially as we’ve got a whole other audience that are potentially paying attention,” concludes Molarius. “It’s important for us to come back and keep checking in on that. We also love doing what we do so to get that reassurance from new people and fans, I’d say it’s very important to us.”
Keep your eyes open, and remember where you heard it first.
