    Perennial indie under achievers. Listened to one of their albums a few years back. You should check out Animals That Swim if you like this.

    Yeah they're good. Shame to see bands with great potential and talent struggle to find a deserved following.

    Its better for us(well me anyway) when the bands aren't mega successful so we can get to them in comfort and at a reasonable cost.
    They will surely be gaining new fans if the quality of the track above is repeated on the albums.

    brilliant band, possibly my favorite on the go at the moment. all their albums are littered with absolute gems. but like has been said, kinda glad their not massive and played to death by the radios!! they have been up for the mercury award a few time tho, so its not like their completely unnoticed. their probably just doesnt suit radio, so they'll never get the exposure they deserve

    saw them live a few times when they came out with their first and second albums around the same time as elbow etal. Jonmmy bramwell is a great frontman and a fine songwriter

    Yep, defintely something interesting and a unique sound.

    Would love to see them live, and guess there is a thing to be said about the band not being too big, making it easier and cheaper for fans to see, and they have received recognition as someone above me has said.

    This song should have been a huge hit but never was. I think it was used as a theme for some Hollyoaks spin off but didn't make a dent otherwise. It's class.
