Reading-based band The Fleas are a five-piece indie rock and roll with a hundred different toppings, from pop, to dance, to jazz to dubstep to folk, all with plenty of gain. They’re the kind of band you stick on when need a lift on a bad day. Smart lyrics, weird situations and a big outsider attitude. Their diverse catalogue of songs all share an upbeat spirit of joy and warmth well loved by the fans who’ve come to see them at festivals all over Berkshire and Buckinghamshire this summer. With an EP (“Telling Tales”) due for release in January 2015, The Fleas have added a twist of Americana to their sound and will be playing hard all through the year. Catch The Fleas live and be forever bitten.
