New Wave Outpost Forum

I almost forgot I saw these guys at a Manchester after-party last October until reading a review today about them as an opener to the likes of Frightened Rabbit. Eager to hear more than just their lone 4-track EP...

"Theirs is a sound that is varied; in places reminiscent of alternative rock act Pixies, in others the more delicate leanings of Radiohead with the finishing touch of a refreshing dose of experimentation in the form of epic, spacey breakdowns."

~~~~~~Always remember you are unique....just like everyone else.~~~~~~

it strikes me that there's good fragments of melody and something hooky in their guitar chords, as opposed to just strictly driving rhythms. I think this is key to the sorts of things I'm drawn to.

I really like both those songs. They remind me more of Longwave than the Pixies.

Nifty video.
