I fully concur with the Salty one, I was a bit dubious at first but the more I listen to it the better it gets.

I bet Chip thinks the same as well :wink:

hmm - i'm not sure actually, it has grown on me slighty since i first gave it a listen, but my initial thoughts when i heard the single, and then the album was that it was just a medley of the first album and hadn't really moved their sound on at all....

however i saw them a couple of weeks back at the astoria and they were absolutely awesome - a very good live band!!

i bought the album at the same time i bought the new KoL album and i personally think that's much better and they do change their sound with each album...

quite a few reviews I read of their last UK tour, and reprots what Das Wanderlust told said the adulation they were held in hadn't been seen since the smiths..... :shock:

it just seemed to kinda fit in with your 'thick smiths' jibe!

:wink:

or was that mrs fireball?

they are a well loved band for sure, jammy bastads

its my single of the year so far, I think his little hooks and *whatever you call that overlapped singing thing* are dead clever... - the "love is a lie" bit :sweeeet:

Forgot about this..last Monday night I took the kids to see Girls Aloud at The Arena. We WERE going to see them at Darlo but Sotnik's a big fibber...

Anyway, the support band were called Rogue Traders, an Aussie band who basically had based every song on a Punk/New Wave riff. (they had a recent hit with "You Are My Voodoo Child", which is Costello's "Pump It Up" re-hashed). The first number they performed was basically "My Sharona". The second was Blondie's "Presence, Dear", the third "Pump It Up" etc...but they were bloody good and had a VERY sexy female singer, far naughtier than any of G.A. clappp

she was in Neighbours her :wink:
