Eh? What's that? A hip indie post-punk band in 2005 that has actually delivered a track which lives up to the hype?

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING.

Um, no, I'm not.

So if you want a track that:

- has more sense of melody and musicianship than the "we-only-know-3-chords" Futureheads;

- contains more ballsiness than the twee effeminate machinations of Franz Ferdinand;

- features more innovativeness and character than the desperately dull "we've got our dial turned firmly back to 1981" Bloc Party;

- delivers a chorus that actually resonates rather than the irritating shouting of the Kaiser Chiefs ("i predict a riot" - shut the fuck up you talentless northern hacks);

- is generally less embarassing than The Killers;

then, this is your track.

Actually, I don't usually bother reviewing this kinda stuff, but our regular indie contributor Dylan is currently too busy larking about in London-village stalking Jarvis Cocker, shagging slappers, and inserting copies of NME up his rectum.
