Sean OB is a songwriter and musician with a voice and attitude that’s unmistakable. Displaying remarkable skills as a songwriter with poignant lyrics set to ferociously catchy rock ‘n’ roll melodies Sean writes with a hard-hitting no bullshit approach.

If you go for quick and easy comparisons, previous connections to Jamie T and early Arctic Monkeys make a certain amount of sense, but that’s merely a snapshot. Anyone that’s done their homework will see beyond these clichés to hear Shane MacGowan’s snarl, Joe Strummer’s energy and John Lennon’s brutal honesty.

Having spent his youth forming multiple bands and touring the U.K and Ireland, the multi-instrumentalist went back to the drawing board to try go it alone.

Two years toiling over a plethora of demos recorded in a bedroom studio, it lead to the recording of his debut EP, produced by the grammy award-winning Rob Kirwan (Hozier/The Horrors). He is now gigging around Ireland and the U.K backed up by his explosive live band.

With attitude-filled, perfectly harmonising vocals, Ciircus Street have been uniquely described in the past as a mixture of ‘salt and honey’. The contrasting, yet compatible nature of their voices gives the listener a taste of what’s yet to come from such raw potential.

The Reading based duo, consisting of Sam Brett (vocals/ guitar) and Jim Crowder (vocals/ keyboard), was formed one night in Oxford after walking past the city’s ‘Circus Street’. Both agreed it would make a good band name, but it wasn’t until later that night when they attended a gig and knocked back a few drinks, that the pair decided to form a duo.

Ciircus Street’s second single ‘Lost’ has been streamed over 70,000 times on Spotify and they continue their success with a third single release titled ‘Broken’.

‘Broken’ explores that period of fragility when one comes to terms with their pain, understanding that it’s for the best, yet still feeling a sense of vulnerability. Ciircus Street truly shed light on moving on from heartbreak and the mixture of feelings and emotions that come along with it. Sam & Jim list notable artists such as Lewis Capaldi and Kodaline as their inspirations when writing the track.
