This band are going to be massive in 2010, you heard it here first. Ok, so some will say that there's nothing new here, we've heard it all before.... New Order, Cure.. Blah Blah..

But believe they are going to be big next year.. and in all probability will play next year. Look forward to seeing them play in January in Notting Hill and then on the JP stage .

[bob parkhurst]

They were really good at Leeds in the summer

I thought they sounded like if New Order had a child with Orbital

[Kowalski]

Saw them support Orbital and I was impressed.

[popcornmaster]

Of course they'll be big, they're in the castle's sound of 2010
They're ok, just a poor mans new order even a tame mans Klaxons
I'll give the album a go when it comes out like but don't think too much of them at the moment

[It doesn't get any better]

I saw them supporting Doves in the summer and thought they were excellent - really promising

I have been a bit disappointed since - they seemed really poor on Later with Jools

We shall see

[deschwah]

saw them at Leeds supporting Orbital in June and thought they were ok
much better on Jools Holland a month a while back so i really hope they play the festival
on the downside more mancs with no doubt the obligatory chips on both shoulders

[sammysundae]

yeah, i have to admit. i saw them at bestival and said straight after "they are going to be massive"

absolutely fantastic band in my opinion. i can see them playing a high slot on the other stage by the time the festival comes about.
so so good live. unlike so many young bands now they really know what they're doing on stage. great musicians and a great techno crossover sound that will work really well into the new decade.

well, if you ask me.

I wasn't overly impressed with them when they supported Orbital in Manchester. But, yeah, they'll probably make it pretty big next year..

[karlpowell]

They are supporting the doves this friday ...I have tickets so will be have a little look in on them

[LusciousLucy]

Ditto to the not being overly impressed with the Orbital support but I have chums who love them. Will probably appreciate them better in 2010.

[zero000]

I really think they hold a loty of promise, when i saw them perfrom on later I thought they were fantastic.

[rexclark]

Heard a few songs on the Radio and really enjoyed them, I agree they'll be big next year.

[strudders]

They were brilliant at Reading.....

I was rather drunk as well and to keep me occupied is a feat in its self, so they get my vote.

listening to them now.....

[Jack Attack]

Just been listening to the album and it's damn fine.
Hoping to see them in Norwich on Thursday.
Big fingers crossed that they play Glasto though!

[idb]

They are a good new band tipped for big things in 2010.

Got tickets to see them play the new Little Civic in Wolverhampton in a couple of weeks.

[fowls]

I saw them at Reading last year.  It didn't set my world alight.  Alright songs, but kinda generic and the performance wasn't much special.  Will probably be big in the NME and whatnot, but doubt they'll have universal success.

Yes, they've been on my'must download' list for a while now, but I'm quite lazy  

If they're playing I'll definitely pop along.

It's only been two years, do we really need a Friendly Fires tribute band?

Nar but seriously they're decent. Nothing too special though as far as I can tell.

[rexclark]

They're all over NME and Radio 1, there is no doubt they'll be at all the big fests.

[ghandi]

A Friendly fired tribute band? I can't here any Latin rhythms and drums in their music?
