The Mysterines just landed their debut album 'Reeling' in the UK top ten, but none of this could have happened without Home Bargains, a jacket, and just a little bit of luck.
The four-piece hail from Wirral and Liverpool and comprise of lead singer Lia Metcalfe, bassist George Favager, guitarist Callum Thompson and drummer Paul Crilly. The band's success would not have happened without a chance meeting in a Home Bargains in 2014 between Lia and George.
Speaking to the ECHO Lia said: "I think I saw him once before in a park, but when I saw him in the store I just had this feeling. He was wearing a cool jacket and I just thought there's definitely no way he is wearing a jacket that cool and isn't into music. It was all based on the jacket really."
