I haven't been on top of my music recently so have only just heard this 'hotly tipped' band doing their rather good XFM session. Think they're very promising band actually, have a quite wintery feel (or is that just because it is winter that i think that?)..... however I can't see how they'll get massive next year. The blokes voice is too annoying for the mainstream and they dont follow the verse, chorus, verse formula much either (from the songs i've heard at least). Any opinions on whether they're gonna be big, or if you like them?
(I realise that the board have probably already discussed this topic at length, but i havent been on in a while and can't be bothered searching through the topics!)

The NME and Radio One seem to like them
They'll be huge
they're
overrated.
It's
a good album. Live, they are a bit hit and miss. Overall, they are worth your attention.
I 'acquired' the album
and I think it's very good. The vocals might grate after a while, though.
i thought that
about the voice but even after many many listens i still love it
Yes
I still like the vocals enough to listen to it many times over, but I can see how lots of people would really hate it.
i think
Jimmy has a point, it's unlikely that they'l blow up mega superstar-stylee. People wouldn't really take so much notice if it weren't for the amount of media coverage they're getting. Which is probably down to a lack of new accessible Franz-Kaiser-Heads type bands at the mo.
I
love them.
Hoping to get tickets for their Manchester gig.
