Caught them live on sunday at liverpool uni, hope they play next year as they were great live only downside was the size of the set only played for 45 minutes. Oh well you cant have everything

a mention in dispatches should also go to Genral Fiasco support for the evening top band if you get a chance go and see them

[let's 'ave it!!!]

this would be nice, their set in 2008 looked incredible!
where would they play though?
Also didnt the lead singer slag off Glastonbury when they were announced for the Oasis stadium shows?

Great first album crap second album. Good live band however, prob would be best in the John Peel tent

[Okky]

Far to far up themselves.

[let's 'ave it!!!]

I personally liked both albums, and they always put on a great show, all 3 times i've seen them anyway!

how are they 'too far up themselves'? please explain?

I saw them at glasto in 2008 and me and the wife thought they we're excellent, they really loved the crowd. They played the dusk slot on the friday night on the other stage and it really got us in the glasto mood. I agee with you aswell both their albums are great.

Meh.

There a good band but don't deserve the hype they get.

I like a few of their songs like We live and die in these sounds but they sound like there trying to be The Jam too much.

However they are a very predictable band, they play festivals often. I would love this years line up to be extremely unpredictable with bands that no one on here will think of playing actually playing. (Does that even make sense?). But anyway they have some quality tunes but some of there other songs are utter dross. (Trying to be a bit more fairer after the big "Indie has fallen" rant).

I hope they do play, such a good live band! seen them around four times now although have to admit the second album is no where near as good

[popcornmaster]

45 mins that is shocking
I wouldn't go see them but I'm sure they'd be a welcome addition for those who did like them.
45 mins is a piss take though

[she bangs the drums]

Ugliest men in music, basically they are a Jam tribute band.

Oh well.

[adustlandfairytale]

how can they play too many festivals?
they only did V festival (T4 does not count!) in 2009
in 2008 they did glasto T and maybe reading n leeds but no 100%
yeah saw them at glasgow 02 academy there brillant live and would be a welcome addition to any festival line up.

[Zacko]

Shame, I would have liked to have seen them.

[markeee]
