There are several musicians that Cornish folk, myself included, have claimed as their own; Jack Johnson, Ben Howard, The Kooks. Pretty much anything that you’d imagine playing from a beach-bound VW camper van. The latest honorary Cornishmen? Australian six-piece Ocean Alley, who brought the beach to Camden on Sunday evening for the final stop of their world tour.
Hailing from Australia’s Northern Beaches, the band have perfected their own unique blend of indie, psychedelic rock – the ideal soundtrack for slow motion running into the sea with a surfboard under one arm. Emerging onto the Roundhouse stage with a backdrop of sunset lighting, the band kicked off their set with tracks Touch back Down, Tombstone and fan favourite, Knees.
