Hello Operator
With it’s colossal opening stomp, raucous debut single ‘Stephanie’ saw Hello Operator smash though the glass ceiling of public expectation. In April 2016, the North Yorkshire lads' first emission of fuzz-fuelled rock was championed on BBC Radio 1’s ‘Introducing Track of the Week’. Since then, the band have unleashed follow up singles ‘Operator Hour’ and ‘Vex Money’, and four-track mammoth ‘Love Is a Loan EP’. Below it’s layers of shrewd vocal hooks, guitar licks and crashing cymbals, a dark undercurrent runs deep in the veins of this band, leaving you in the corner, pleading for another hit. Nowadays, while many acts are suckered into the shiny marbled exterior of it’s clichés, Hello Operator continue carve a new depth into the words ‘rock and roll’.
