Dirk Diggler Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Have just finished listening to their album 'We live and die in these towns' and have to say I was really impressed. A couple of their songs sounded remarkably like 'The Jam'. Anyone seen them/got any thoughts on them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 hate them. poor mans Jam. I don't think that's fair. A different era. They were obviously influenced by Weller but I found the album very good and definately a lot better than some of the tripe doing the rounds at the minute. This track in particular stood out.... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TZrCerjmvrE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djf Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 The worst of the current NME championed pop bands. Stale, boring, safe lyrics with catchy choruses. No excitement whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJoker98 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm a music snob really. But I like 'Em. Got more of a real feel to them, relate more to the lyrics than say the Arctic Monkeys who were 'famed' for saying how it was in real life. Yea right.

sked21 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Class band. Class videos. "We Live and Die in These Towns" is uncannily like the Jam.(I hope that makes sense:ninja:) Along with The Wombats they are my favourite band at the moment.
