Of the onslaught of 'landfill indie' bands that marked the mid noughties indie revival, the three bands that received the most distain from me were The Kooks (terrible and not indie), Scouting For Girls (more like Scouting for Talent...lolcat) and One Night Only (more like a boyband than an actual band). However, Scouting For Girls returned with a song that is a classic in the making and then a (very) guilty pleasure, whilst ONO have given us this fantastic song. I hate having to eat my words, but in this case I'll put up my hand and say that this has changed my views on them slightly. The video's got Emma Watson in it, and has a twist ending that makes you want to watch it again.

 

Still think The Kooks are rubbish though.

suprisingly good.

 

I do need to hate them though for personal reasons.

That is a bit of a surprise.

 

SFG need to be shot and roasted slowly in hell for the utter garbage they have inflicted on us and that goes for the latest single as well. Classic in the making? pffft!

Awesome, can't believe it already has nearly 2 million views!

1.5m have probably come from the mention of Emma Watson...

I'm surprised they haven't split up.

I'm glad this has turned into a decent(ish) hit for them, it's quite anthemic and certainly a lot more commercial than the majority of the last album. Still, it's going to fall like a stone now.

 

Has anyone bothered with the album? It's SO MUCH better than the last one, it's got much better production and perhaps more importantly it's consistant and HAS TUNES, wheras only about 4 songs on the last album could claim that.

 

It does veer into SHOUTY territory at a few points, namely Forget Your Name and Tom seems to have developed a rather odd vocal inflection (akin to Neil Tennant) at times, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable album.
