The very wonderful Manchester-based The Tim and Sam band (and their tune ‘Put Your Slippers On’) have been used by the Co-operative bank in an advert to “celebrate the Co-Op’s 15th anniversary of their unique customer-led Ethical Policy”

IndieMusicBlog were lucky enough to catch the band (billed as Tim And Sam’s Tim And Sam Band With Tim And Sam) live last month at Blowout in Chorlton, and we’re definitely new converts.

We’ve been obsessed with San Diego’s The Album Leaf for the best part of a year, so we were delighted to discover a homegrown band that plucked similar heartstrings

The band are currently recording their debut album, and have a few Manchester dates coming up in the next month – check their MySpace for details

You can watch the advert on Youtube or check it out below:

If you like the sound of that, then you can also watch/listen to the beautiful ‘Join The Dots’ on Youtube or listen to 5 songs on the Tim And Sam Band’s MySpace
