My new craze from over the pond.

They are simply brilliant, and I highly recommend them to anyone

Johnny Marr has joined them as an extra guitarist on the latest album; which just makes things biblically good!


Anyone else think theyre great???

I only know "Fly in a Jar"(?) and "Dashboard" and just listening to "Little Motel" (the last one seems to be one of the more serious tracks) Are they more often funny like in the first two ones or is it more mixed?

some of their stuff is proper raw punk influenced stuff, but other stuff is far more melodic - "we were dead before the ship even sank" being a case in point (the album)

i'd say its defnitely serious stuff. kida a mix between radiohead and the young knives to be honest.

my mate sums it up. he calls them "anti-pop"

See if this takes yer fancy anyone?
