Album Description
The Debut Album from the Northampton, England Band that Carries on a Fine English Tradition of Drawing their Inspiration from their Musical Heroes and Fashioning their Own Fresh Sound Out of It. The Members Freely Acknowledge their Touchstones of U2, the Smiths, the Cure, Depeche Mode and Echo and the Bunnymen...all The Greats of Postpunk. So What Excited the Record Labels So? a Potent Combination of Youth, Enthusiasm, Energy and Attitude. A Singer as Clumsily Appealing, as Unmistakably English and as Angry as a Young Jarvis Cocker. Their Ringing Guitars, Funky Bass and Solid Drums Recall Early U2, as Well as Bands Like the Chameleons and the Psychedelic Furs. Plus They Looked Good and Had a Great Set of Proper Songs. And They Had Real Ambition. "we Think Big Picture," Declares Sam. "we Dont Just Want to Write Songs that Sound Good Now, We Want Songs that Will Still Sound Good in Ten Years Time."
