Bio
As Andy Gill of Gang of Four fame recently noted in The Independent UK: "the black watch have, in songwriter John Andrew Fredrick, an artist capable of Nick Drake quietness AND My Bloody Valentine miasma. Los Angeles has not produced a band this poetic in a long long time--pity that they have to rely on a tiny label out of Dorset UK to get their wonderful, mid-period Beatles-ish melodies heard."
the black watch have more press than a small town phonebook--and have been on many indie labels and one mini major. TIME OUT NY called them "the most underappreciated indiepop band in the US."
