This band kick some serious ass, Chris’ voice does take some getting used to but listen to the songs on their myspace a few times and his voice becomes totally engrossing. I also saw them live and was struck by the energy and talent of the drummer.
Go see them live and I promise you will fall head over heels for this band.

There is some interesting banter here!

I heard this band very early on at a live show. And my god!!! they are one of the best bands i have seen in recent years. The point that becomes apparent very quickly despite the lead singers stature (small and baby faced) he oouzes talent! For 20- 21 year olds there musicianship is far beyond there years! from a fiddle player that is incredible to the drummer who would rival steve gadd! GO SEE THIS BAND LIVE!!! there new singles “kill it” too (mind the pun)

My turn.

I love it. Right up my street. Fucking ballsy & vulnerable all at the same time. Excellent stuff indeed. Proper passion, that.

The way the excellent musical compositions + the clear/crystal female bk vox + the leaden/congested male vocals all knit together, without sounding like a 5th form school choral orchestra falling down a spiral staircase, is testament to this very clever bunch of people — they clearly know what they are doing as this could have sounded overcrowded & claustrophobic.

The ’single’ is fucking excellent, too. An absoluter gem.

Nah, I can’t see me getting used to this.

I’m not going to wake up one morning and suddenly decide the singer doesn’t sound like a hoover with a plastic bag stuck up the hose.

And the rest of band, while perfectly pleasant, just aren’t disctinctive enough to carry that.

Well unlike most people on this thread I didn’t take to it immediately either, but I have pretty much come around by now. It may just take some getting used to.

Hmm… How disappointing. I’ve only just got round to actually listening to this track.

Unfortunately, this is going to have to be one of those ‘compliment sandwiches’ where you start off by saying something nice, then make your criticism, then finish with another slice of something nice.

Well, the musicianship is quite lovely.

That is a remarkeably odd voice, and I found it offputting. I mean, is everyone else in the band a bit deaf? Or is the singer just bigger than the rest of them? Why hasn’t one of them taken him to one side and just quietly said “Dude, about your singing…”

And this particular song goes nowhere after about 1:40. Great start, then the bloke starts singing, then the band start daydreaming and phone the rest of the song in.

A slice of something nice after the criticism?..

Erm, the cover art’s quite nice.

It was like watching a cross between the opening sequence to Saturday Night Fever and the video to The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony.

I saw you walking along George Street last night.

I was on a number 10 bus that drove along next to you pretty much at walking-pace for the length of the street.
