Punknews.org says of the Zutons 'listen to them now before they are ruined by the NME!' or something like that. The NME ruin them? They've already done that to themselves. Poor America. Someone send the Futureheads back over.

They look like smug bastards don't they? Maybe someone could smother them while theyre sleeping with baloons or something.

I say that Punk News thing. Tragic. The world's most popular Coral tribute band. And the Coral were crap anyway...except 'Dreaming Of You', obviously.

I like the Zutons. I think they're better than the Coral beacause they have tunes, and, like, good songs. (oh yes they do, all you smug anti-success indie nerds). I just wish they'd sack the saxophone player.

their tunes seem really..empty for some reason. i think a live album will be a mistake.

The Zutons will never really be classed as better than the Coral. The coral arnt afraid to freak people out in case they lose credibility from those pretty pretty boys you see wandering the streets in their £100 jeans specially torn for the indie effect... i'm ranting now.

Whether they like it or not the Zutons are the perfect addition to image for any aspiring indie fiend. They're super live though and their tracks are rather funky in way,not enough material for a live album. And keane... don't get me started *growls*
