Tindersticks

About

Tindersticks is a British indie rock band that formed in 1991 with an orchestral rock sound. The band released its debut effort Tindersticks First Album, in 1993, exposing a smokey blues sound composed with a classical instrument-tinged repertoire of instruments that includes a glockenspiel, violin, trombone, bassoon and Hammond organ. Tindersticks' blues influence grew as it progressed into the end of the 1990s, particularly on the 1999 album, Simple Pleasure. In addition to its studio albums, Tindersticks has produced multiple soundtracks for films including 2008's 35 Shots of Run and 2010's White Material.
