Title: Underhand romanceLabel: Rough TradeRelease date : 2nd October 2006
So apparently these guys are setting the US on fire, and this four piece do shine on certain moments. Particularly on their single ‘Mama your boys will find a home’- however, there seems to be a block on their tunes- it’s like they never seemed to have heard of ‘going to eleven’! But are stuck between 4-6/7 and that’s as high as the quality meter will go. There’s shades of the Bravery and White Rose movement here, I can see these guys going down a storm on the US college circuit, but it’s all a bit lethargic and not very inspirational. Unfortunately we’ve heard it all before- but better!
