Hype seems to be slowly building around this Southend band who've been likened to early Muse, with them currently touring the US while their latest single 'Itch' has just made Radio 1's B List (following 'Ban All The Music', which was playlisted in February). No solid details of an album yet but they've released three singles since last year's 'Graveyard Whistling' EP.

 

I absolutely adore the lead singer/Conor's distinctly emotive voice and haven't heard a below par track from them yet, with the anthemic 'Graveyard Whistling', the stripped-back ballad 'Lover, Please Stay' and the rockier 'Wake Up Call' and 'Itch' being particular standouts. Really hoping they have a bit of a commercial breakthrough soon and get an album together. Any other fans here?!

 

 

 

Itch is fantastic. Thought there would have been a topic on them!!

I quite like “Itch”, it debuted outside my Top 40 last week but should quite easily climb in later today I'd have thought - too tired to compile the chart now as just got back from town.

Itch is indeed fantastic, definitely my favourite from them. Ban All The Music was also quite interesting, I'd definitely like to hear more of that side from them. I don't really remember Graveyard Whistling very much so I think I'll have to re-visit that.

Current (Radio 1 A-listed) single 'Trip Switch':

 

 

Another solid offering. Great chorus and I love the delicate vocals in the verses. Doesn't look like it'll be the hit they need though. -_-
