What's that coming over the hill? Yet another quartet of skinny, well turned out young chaps pitching hyperactive soft focus post punk? Er, yes. Formerly known as White Rabbit, these 18 year olds signed a massive deal with B-Unique, the home of Kaiser Chiefs, in the middle of July 05. A whirlwind romance with the hype machine led to three well received singles, including Monster which reached number 4 in the charts. An album, Not Accepted Anywhere, was released in June 06, and reached Number 3.
