January 3, 200817 yr Author Giving the album its first proper spin this afternoon. Thus far I'm quite impressed. It's such an unusual album and they've found a real nichéy genre. Whether it'll stand up to further listenings though I'm unsure
January 5, 200817 yr i heard 'A-Punk' earlier and it screams dont belive the hype at me, its all right but there not as good as everyone is making out
January 6, 200817 yr who wrote the bio? seems a very hyphen free zone?? :lol: Mansard Roof was cool - would have liked that to have charted in the 40 last year. hopefully we'll get a video on the hits this year!!!

February 8, 200817 yr AHHHH this is the best think i've heard in a long time (maybe since "Mens Needs, Womans Needs, Whatever"). ;o What an amazing album, not a bad song on there for me, really liking "Blake's Got A New Face" right now, but the first three songs are perfection. <3

September 27, 200816 yr Author 'A-Punk' gets a re-release in the non-too-distant future. Tis weird how huge they have become. I'm going to see them for a third time this year (first none festival appearance anyway) at The Forum in le London. Hopefully my interest in them can remain through till then. I r a bit bored of them becoming.
