Tricks & Sleeves is an uber-talented folksy four-piece band from Auckland, New Zealand. They're making a name for themselves by bridging the gap between the current alternative/indie influence and yesteryear's indelible 70s folk-rock scene. Put Foals, Nirvana and Neil Young together on a mix-tape, add plenty of facial hair and you have Tricks & Sleeves. The catchy melodies work in harmony with the band's well-crafted rhythms and layers of sonically eerie guitars. For a taste of what they've produced, take a listen to their self-titled debut album, then make sure you're at their next show so you can say you saw them live in 2014 on their way to going big.
