Few bands get described at "tweedy," but that's one of the adjectives used to describe the sound of Henry Dartnall, Oliver Askew, and Thomas Dartnall (aka House of Lords).

Their E.P. "The Decision," was produced by Gang of Four's Andy Gill, they've opened for the Rakes and Dirty Pretty Things, and they're now touring to support their new album Voices of Animals and Men.

They stopped by to talk to Steve Seel about hometown festivals and their SXSW plans.

Songs performed: "Here Comes The Rumor Mill," "The Decision," and "Weekend And Bleak Days (Hot Summer)."
