Here's a band that hasn't had a MOG post about them since 2006- and those didn't have any songs for you to discover. So I'm thinking that a lot of people don't know about this band.
I'm going to give you 2 tracks from their 2003 release and then let you take it from there. They have real engaging songs.
Here's a bit more: 'The American Adventure' is the follow-up to their 2002 debut album 'Holes In The Wall', which received considerable critical plaudits, a Mercury Music Prize nomination, & the title of Q Best Newcomer. Recorded in Brighton, Cowfold & Chiswick, & mastered at Abbey Road, the nine tracks on the 'The American Adventure' find the band dirtying up their indie jangle with elements of U.S. alternative rock. Packed full of crystalline melodies & guitar driven hits, standout tracks include the Radiohead-esque 'Lights Out', the anthemic 'The Wrongest Thing In Town' & the storming Sonic Youth-influenced title track.
Here's the track Lose Yr Frown

They remind me a bit of Squeeze in their unconventional chord changes. Nice stuff. I heard their name for years, never a track.
liked number 2 over number 1
Enjoyed the listen
Thanks!
I've loved these guys since I heard "Silent to the Dark". Thanks for reminding me about them.
