Review by Jarren Jan 01, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

The best new band in England right now. Their combination of new wave / punk musicality alongside lyrical genius makes them a band to watch. Maybe not mainstream enough to be the new Blondie (no pun intended) but who wants number 1's anyway?

Essential listening.
