njconnal Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 NEW EDUCATION + The Tivoli, Dirty Jeans & Fearless Linda Saturday 5th December, 7pm in The Fusion. New Education, they’re the latest, greatest noise to emanate from Stoke-On-Trent, a town resembling “the grey areas of Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham amalgamated into one little city.” They have the thump of Kasabian, the epic everyman appeal of The Enemy and the swagger of Weller, but there’s no living and dying in malicious towns in their songs. Instead, like Oasis circa ‘Champagne Supernova’, they aim at liberating their listeners with life-affirming melody. New Education sprang, in January 2008, from the wreck of Ryan and Jack’s punkier previous band (the pair have been in bands together since the age of fourteen). Jettisoning a couple of players who weren’t pulling their weight, the pair and drummer John Bradbury announced to their sizable Stoke fanbase via Myspace that they were reforming as New Education, and posted the two songs they’d already recorded for the new project. Before they’d even recruited David Cartwright as their new guitarist, the labels were on the phone.
