So I checked out this band because there was a bit of buzz about them. Also because I think it’s rad a Scottish band is big right now. I came to the conclusion that they I dig their alt rock tunes. It’s nothing you or actually I havn’t heard before yet there is always a place for those bands. They kinda remind me of how The Subways came around ohhhh about a long time ago. [Subways live review here.]
Notwithstanding it’s worth a good listen, especially since they have their whole album streaming on myspace right now. Their first single “Wasted Little DJ’s” is pretty catchy and they already have the UK under their belt right now.(Their album debuted number 2 on iTunes there) We’ll see how the U.S takes em in. Maybe it’ll be another epidemic like the Artic Monkeys. 
The album drops in March so we’ll all catch them again then.

These guys are pretty tight. I just picked up their album (”Hats off to Buskers”) and I must say that I’m very pleased. They have a very British feel to them and the guitar in every single one of their songs has a huge presence. Solid stuff.
