The Tacticians songs are all written by brothers Joe Jr. and Ollie, who form the core of the band. The brothers have a soft spot for 3 minute pop songs; they aim to create music that incorporates elements of their outsized record collection - old soul, ska, country, 60s pop........ Tacticians tracks are characterised by economic drumming, soulful guitar riffs, sweet touches of organ, glockenspiel and harmony vocals.
