Not a fan of them generally but their new single is probably the most loathsome annoying record by an Irish (non boy) band since Picturehouse unleashed 'Sunburst'.
I can't nail down everything I hate about it but I'll start with the hamfisted karaoke standard attempt at apeing David Byrnes which actually sounds more like Brian Ferry trying to do a "Tom Jones" on an INXS song.
Also -in my head I can hear exactly what it sounded like before someone suggested trying to hop on the overcrowded new wave bandwagon
- acoustic led plod rock indie by numbers fcukin Mundy with amps.
Sorry Gareth - I know you're a bit of a fan of these lads. :) ;)
