Yes Cadets were formed in Belfast over the summer of 2008, united by an unhealthy obsession with Canadian indie and an ear for an off-kilter hook.
The trio craft a distinctive sound inspired by everyone from LCD Soundsystem and The Knife to The Cure and My Bloody Valentine. They rapidly gained buzz for their magnetic live performance, earning high profile festival slots across Europe and support slots with luminaries The Antlers, Yuck and Guillemots.
An early, home recorded version of the track Le Mans was picked up by the BBC and soon playlisted on daytime Radio 1. Brimming with atmospheric pop hooks and pulsing cinematic lament Le Mans made waves amongst the indie-pop blogosphere and the mainstream music press alike whilst still only in raw demo form.
Le Mans is the first single from their upcoming debut EP and can be downloaded for free at Soundcloud.
