Yes they're a new British band. Yes they play instantly catchy indie guitar rock, similar in ways to the early, hopeful sounds of U2. Yes, I think they're going to do quite well this year. Yes you should check them out.

I'm queued up for download now, thanks Dalen. As a fan of instantly catchy indie guitar rock, I'm always interested.

Thank you, sir.

Does it usually take several attempts to wait for a download?

Not bad.
Reminds me of Coldplay -- the singer's voice, I think is why.
A little harder-rocking than Coldplay, but still in that same vein.
I don't think it's anything I would buy, but I am damn glad that I got to hear it.

Thanks, Dalen.

It could be the best track off of X&Y...if only. Actually it's better than that. Dalen, I slotted it into your Indie UK mix, it sounds excellent in there. That Editors song in that 2005 mix is killer by the way.

I don't think there's a band in the UK rught now that is trying to be successful that does not sound at least a little like Coldplay. And yeah, it is heavier.

I haven't listened to the whole tune yet, but it has a Futureheads feel to it.
