Great pop band founded by former Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows in June 2009. I defy anyone not to cheer up after listening to this song. They’re playing London next month and I’m going to go see them me thinks. Check out here.

And so, my obsession of soloists with guitars continues… I’m not sure how long this guy has been going for, but I really like his happy folky sound. It’s very suited to an English summer. I also love his name. Very cool. I can just imagine his live shows being a lot of fun. Check out here.

Skinnerisms #2
But don’t take the shortcut through the subway
It’s pay or play, these geezers walk the gangway
Deep seated urban decay, deep seated urban decay,
Rip down posters alight
From last weeks big Garage night
And the next Tyson fight
I cook em at 90 degrees Fahrenheit
And don’t copy the copyright
I got em in my sites, blinding with the lights
Taken to dizzy new heights

Skinnerisms #1
I have a lot of love for Mike Skinner (i.e. The Streets). So I feel inspired to post some ‘Skinnerisms’ sporadically for the next few weeks on here. Just because. First one, and it seems appopriate, is from ‘Turn The Page’, an epic tune that opened his first album, Original Pirate Material back in 2002.
All stare, eyes glazed
Garage burnt down, the fire raged
For 40 days and in 40 ways
But through the blaze they see it fade
The sea of black, the beaming heat on their faces
Then a figure emerges from the wastage
Eyes transfixed with a piercing gaze
One hand clutching a sword raised to the sky
They wonder how, they wonder why
The sky turns white, it all becomes clear
They felt lifted from their fears
They shed tears in the light
