We've been waiting a good year and a half for these guys to get recognition, and it's still not quite happened for them yet - which is a shame because their debut album Girls And Weather is really good!
Whether you think them a new-fangled Dexy's Midnight Runners or simply a band with 50s Rock n Roll and a whole lotta soul, you can't ignore that they've got some good tunes under their belt. Frustratingly though it seems there's a barrier obstructing them from getting the notice they need and deserve. Though if it's mainstream success they're after, they should just feature one of their tracks on Channel 4's Skins (well, it's worked for The Gossip and Foals) but that would be the easy way. Nope, these guys are truly in it for the music...what's that? One of their songs features on the soundtrack for Simon Pegg's movie Run Fat Boy Run? Ah-hem...
Heck, they even play one-off min gigs at festivals when they're not playing their scheduled ones, so long may they continue to troupe along while people gradually say things like "man, that Alarm Clock song is damn good!" and "Mate, you should check out Girls and Boys In Love, it's way better " and such like...
That's their most recent release, by the way, and has got to have one of the catchiest intros in a long while...
