Formed in Sheffield; debut album Someone To Drive You Home (2006); produced by Steve Mackey; principal songwriter credited as Dorian Cox; band described in reviews as vintage-influenced British indie pop/rock.

A strongly positive review of The Long Blondes' debut album Someone To Drive You Home, praising its vintage style, crafted songwriting and Kate Jackson's theatrical vocals. The band is placed in a lineage with Pulp, Blondie and Smiths. The record is described as catchy, melodic and stylistically deliberate.

For:Fans of British indie pop/rock with a taste for vintage-inspired, melody-driven songs (Pulp/Blondie/Smiths listeners).

 Matter of style: between glamour and intellectualism made of quotes and stuffy dissipation, moving through retro interiors where mid-century modern decor serves to cover the cracks on damp walls, while an old VHS of a '40s noir plays on TV and an aseptic row of beige houses can be glimpsed through the window.
