Blood Red Shows with Maxïmo P!@TD 'n Metric
Seemingly we're not the only ones who heart them. Last time we caught them at London's Buffalo Bar the members of Maxïmo Park, Rakes, Long Blondes and Nick from Kaiser Chiefs were all caught nodding along. The next time we saw them Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe were buying the band drinks. Subsequently they've nabbed a massive support at Glasgow Academy with Maxïmo and somewhere along the track Panic! @ the Disco caught wind of them and they’ll support the Las Vegas-spawned emo megastars at Brixton Academy in October. Add to that supports with Metric and Rumble Strips and DrownedinSound DiScover dates with Youthmovies and get ready for them to be the name tipped on everyones lips come January. »

So yeah, the headline's a play on The Promise Ring, but Exeter's An Emergency are, if anything, closer in spirit to the frantic punk-rockin' inventiveness of Q And Not U; indeed, I recall that they supported the now sadly defunct DC trio not so long ago.
