Though he spent years as a member of Busted, a successful UK pop outfit, Charlie Simpson eventually grew tired of the watered-down nature of the music, opting to branch out on his own. With his solo project, the multi-instrumentalist has been allowed to stretch his legs significantly further, maintaining his knack for pop songcraft while incorporating heavy amounts of rock influences. While the transition from saccharine pop to more ambitious territory is hardly ever an easy one, the fact that Simpson's music has been well-regarded by the press and listeners throughout the UK is a testament to his talents as a performer. His accessible brand of sensitive and anthemic pop rock is sure to grow bigger and bigger in the coming years.
