She's Attracted To

Young Knives: She's Attracted To

by Rob Webb

Once derided (fairly, some might argue) for looking like tweed-clad kiddy-fiddlers, The Young Knives have the last laugh here and finally deliver on all their kooky promise with a single that takes a quite ridiculous premise and turns it into alt-pop gold. Sonically, it's Gang Of Four covering Parklife but the story is pure Jerry Springer.

So your girlfriend's parents don't approve of you... what do you do? A. Sulk for a while before insisting you don't visit her at home, B. Try extra hard to impress them or C. Give her old man a damn good pasting.

Of course, most sane people would opt for A or B but it wouldn't make for good pop. Thankfully, our favourite kitchen utensils pick C and 'She's Attracted To' is an absolute gem, the kind of song that doesn't come along very often. “You were screaming at your mum and I was punching your dad," hollers Henry Dartnall. Me? I was just punching the air in delight.

JLB Credit. Fuck off please.

WOOOOOOOOO

Me four.

It's on MTV2 on an hourly basis and I'm not sick of it AT ALL. Which is an achievement and a half.


i know!

The resemblence is uncanny


i bet

if david mitchell was in a band they would be fucking great


this song

is so poor its untrue


agreed

with above, i can't the "la la la" bits, it just isn't very interesting. All that i've heard of them seems like that except "rumour mill...", just a tad bland really.


i quite like it

Better than a lot of shit around at the moment.
It's clever, I think that's why I like it.


i prefer

monster. seriously.
