The Cobbs

For years now, Bucks County, PA boys The Cobbs have been living like total and complete rock stars right under your nose, making one iteration of heavy, Brit-infused fuzz rock after another. Having started off as “Ty Cobb”, then taking a brief respite at the moniker “Mad Action” when the estate of the real Mr. Cobb got antsy, they have finally arrived at, quite simply, “The Cobbs”.

Somewhere in there, they also made records with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and shared stages in the UK with The Strokes, The Pretty Things, Babyshambles and so on, and also manages to pull off playing an event other bands wouldn’t bother with called the Reading Festival. All of this may appear odd for a band that had yet to “arrive”, but all of that old-fashioned prep work has paid off in a major way on The Cobbs Sing The Death Capades. It’s a spacey yet dignified sound, lovelorn like The Doves but also reckless like Spiritualized.
