"Bloc Party", "Nope, The Rapture", "No you're both wrong, it's At The Drive In...". Whatever it is, post-hardcore, experimental math-rock, chaos driven new-wave insanity, it's astoundingly good.
Truth is, they sound a bit like all of the above, but then, perversly, nothing like any of them; the single Thirteen is two parts disco warrior doing the robot on the nearest dancefloor to one part chorus so emphatically brilliant you can practically hear hordes of wanabee indie-guitar bands crying into their Converse at the sheer unfairness of it all.
Oh, and the new one (Twelve) is even better.
