The Fallout Trust hail from Bristol but have relocated to London and all live in a house they have named "The Q Quarters". It's an aptly-named home for a band that produces a strain of rock music that would find favor with Q magazine's MOR readership. This is wide screen rock with the rough edges planed off.

Joe Winter's vocal sits somewhere between Coldplay's Chris Martin and the indie hysterics of The Tears' Brett Anderson. It's not a pleasant sound. The song is built around a slight Athlete-styled riff, a little bit off-centre but not enough to be scary. It builds with all the predictability of a Barratt home: The guitars get louder, the strings kick in, the vocals push up into a higher octave. Oh listen - they have thrown in a Franz Ferdinand-aping middle eight just to keep us on our toes.

I need more from my music than second hand imitations of bands that themselves are too in love with the classic rock canon. This is just too straight and plain ordinary.
