The Mancunian five-piece have already been dubbed "the second best band in Manchester" by Tony Wilson (nothing like damning with faint praise, is there?), and Won't You Come Around should go some way to demonstrating what the quietly growing fuss around them is all about.
Jangly guitars, handclaps, "oooh-ooh" vocals and indie music that girls can dance to may have been done many, many times before, but not many do it better than Polytechnic. There's a definite hint of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to them, but without the studied artiness that make them such a frustrating listen. Polytechnic are just all about great songs, and the minute Won't You Come Along begins it already sounds like a classic.
Like all the best songs, there's a yearning sense of sadness underneath the upbeat atmosphere that really mark Polytechnic out as the proverbial 'ones to watch'. Educate yourself and get into Polytechnic.
