Telegraphs

Telegraphs are a Brighton rock group associated with alternative rock, hard rock and British indie-leaning guitar music. Their early work draws notice for combining strong melody with a sharp, angular edge, and reviews describe the band as balancing forceful energy with more melancholic songwriting.

Style and reception

The group’s sound is described as pop rock with youthful aggression, and as guitar-led rock that brings together melody and spikier, more abrasive elements. Critics compare parts of their approach to Biffy Clyro, and also note a rugged, driving quality alongside a focus on strong hooks. Their writing is repeatedly characterised as energetic, forceful and precise, with a sense of confidence in both the music and the lyrics.

Early releases

Telegraphs’ five-track Across A Wire EP receives especially positive attention. It is described as ballsy and full of catchy melodies, with reviewers highlighting the band’s balance of fire and control and suggesting that the release points towards further development. Another account calls the EP near-flawless and expresses interest in the band’s first album.

Critical commentary

Coverage of the band places emphasis on their mix of melody and aggression. One review describes their work as “angular rock goodness”, while others praise the combination of steely confidence, lyrical skill and a persistent sense of momentum. The general response presents Telegraphs as a young band with a distinct melodic rock identity.
