The Dabhands - The Chicken Pen

Crawling out of the clean-cut depths of Surrey come The Dabhands, an alternative rock four piece with the intention to get dirty. Although their name may suggest that their fingers are covered in some sort of stimulating substance, what actually comes from their dab-hands are some fine rifts and  beefy drums. Despite being fresh on the scene, the foursome have already scored themselves slots supporting the like of Slaves, The Amazons and The Carnabys, and Novemeber of this year has marked the release of their second single The Chicken Pen.

Combining the nostalgia of 2012's dominant alt rock notorieties with typically "British" musical characteristics. It's like Lily Allen had a love child with Lower Than Atlantis, in an attempt to bring English alt rock back to the forefront of the indie scene. The Chicken Pen embodies this with fancy hooks, heavy drums and catchy lyrics, and if that doesn't float your boat they've got some slick cinematography to accompany it.

If this is hard to believe watch The Chicken Pen for yourself and find out:
