This quartet from Camden look set to hit 2008 running with the release of their second single in January. The band who quietly laid foundations with their debut 'Man Next Door' in the summer of 2007 catching amongst others along the way the ears of Zane Lowe and Jonathan Ross have plied their aural assault criss-crossing the UK over the past few months and picking up plaudits where it matters...the prawn cocktail has been scoffed, the meat's about to be served and the dessert is being prepared!Operahouse came to fruition having migrated to Camden and meeting via mutual acquaintances which sees lead singer Johnny and guitarist Alex writing the bare bones before the rhythm section of Jimmy - bass and Ben - drums add to the mix witnessing the development of the tracks..."it then generally just mutates until it is what it is" says Alex.'Born A Boy’ races in, underpinned with a taut angular rhythm and jagged vocals that kick into action almost immediately undeniably evolving into a melody led little number.The flip side features ‘Telescopes’, a frenetic track that again highlights the band's song writing ability hand in hand with the steeliness that has seen the band morph into a potent live act.Operahouse is inhabited by

Johnny Lloyd - guitar / vocals Jimmy Cratch - bass Alex Kaines - guitar Ben Niblett - drums

Operahouse release 'Born A Boy' / 'Telescopes' on January 28th through Marrakesh Records and will be available as a limited 7" and as a download
