Bristol based band tipped for becoming 'the next big thing' and gaining some rave reviews from the music press according to the PR blurb. I am always wary of hyped bands as like most music buyers prefer to make my own mind up and having listened to this album they have the musical ability but lack killer tunes.

Vocally they are a cross between the Smiths and Belle & Sebastian, although sadly nowhere as good as either band. The single, 'History of Britain' and 'I'm Bored Of You' are worth downloading for sure but otherwise try as I might I can't really find much else to like on this album.
