“No secret’s too safe, and how you can’t stay, higher than the stars.” When Pains’ first song came out I remember my attention was caught first, by the name, and second, by the sound. One of their first hits, “Young Adult Friction” captures the soul by its retro snappy charm.

If there's one album that's come close (oh so close!) to somehow being better than Merriweather Post Pavillion, it's the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart's self-titled debut.

Some would argue that this screams "riding the ...

"Young Adult Friction" is Painful to Pure HeartsDespite the fact that their sound has been compared to Belle and Sebastian and the Smiths, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart are not for everyone. It's not that their music is particularly abrasive or showy, or that they are offensive in any way.

Innocent indie-pop collective The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart have confirmed a UK tour this year starting off in May and finishing in June. The band released their self-titled debut long-player way back in February and whilst it was a mixed bag (our review HERE) it still had some great tracks and we can imagine their overall sound fitting quite comfortably in a live setting.
