This second single from the Yorkshire foursome is an upfront, intoxicating blast of strident electro-indie-pop. Going down the usual download or limited edition 7' for this one, they’re adding the extra twist of personalising each vinyl sleeve themselves.

Their sound is probably best described as a refreshing mix of Talking Heads, The Cure and Stone Roses which goes some way to explaining the sizeable cult following they’ve already acquired. Over the floor shaking grooves and the taut guitars lies a layer of well-written and highly intelligent lyrics, blasting them into orbit over the plethora of oohs, aahs and handclaps that seem to be all anyone else has to offer at the moment.

They’ve already appeared alongside some of the other big up-and-coming bands of the day but, if this is anything to go by, they’ll soon be leaving them all in their wake. Get hold of a copy of this if you can and, if you get the chance to see them live, jump all over it.
