Hometown: South Woodham Ferrers, Essex.
The lineup: Paul Usher (vocals, keyboards), Mark Brandon (guitar), Thom Galbally (bass), Andy Grant (drums).
The background: The clamour to get in, the crowds spilling out on to the streets - we got the impression the hot-house atmosphere at the Camden launch party-cum-gig to celebrate the release of Sam Sparro’s album back in May was at least in part due to support band Magistrates: the excitement was intense, and the talk garbled, about these four good-looking lads with great hair from Essex who were doing interesting things with funk. And now they’re finally - and we say finally because two months is a long time in pop these days - putting out their debut single, we’re glad to say it doesn’t disappoint. Make This Work has a rough, ragged, almost demo-like quality, probably due to the fact that it was recorded in the guitarist’s bedroom on an old 16-track tape machine, but that almost works to its advantage, separating it from the rest of the indie-funk crowd, while the singer’s falsetto veers between try-hard and comical, like Sparro’s only less accomplished, but again, the effect isn’t wholly displeasing - great pop music, as if we need reminding, isn’t about hitting the high notes, it’s about aiming high. Of their other tracks, The Inbetweens and Colour Coordination are faster and more frantic indie-funk workouts and, if anything, are better than the single, the latter in particular fairly racing along at a northern soul pace.

Presumably there are (at least) two Magistrates? What I'm listening to right now - 'Accusées' - doesn't sound very Essex.
