Sarah chats with frontman Tommy Longhurst after their show at den Atelier

Only The Poets are an indie rock four-piece from Reading, UK comprised of Tommy Longhurst (lead vocals/guitar), Andy Burge (bass), Clem Cherry (guitar), and Marcus Yates (drums). Sarah caught up with Tommy after their high-energy performance at den Atelier on February 9 and chatted about the band's sound (they've been compared to artists ranging from The Cure to Bruce Springsteen), their relationship with fans (inspired in part by their experience touring with Louis Tomlinson), and who picks the songs we hear before the gig starts. (Spoiler: It's Tommy, and he has great taste.)
