new hip band from Scottland. 'the european Interpol'

'Take Me Out' is a catchy alternative song, one of the unlikely hits.

What do you know?

Sounds like pavement ?

I love that song Take me out.. Haven't heard much else about them though, but think they may have a gig in London coming up..

Take me out is the best song i've heard so far this year.

But i haven't got the album yet (believe it came out on Monday, and it's had fantastic reviews - at least in the UK broadsheets, calling it the "first essential album of the year" and stuff).

Anybody got it and want to let me know what the scene is?

album comes out on monday, 15th. I´m going to buy it and I´m going to see the band in concert on march 11th. I like both singles, "Darts Of Pleasure" and "Take Me Out".

Ah, a new hype.

Take me out is good though. I'm all for hypes if they're worth it.

The transition in TMO from the bland "indie" opening to the funky riff & beat is superb.

go to Get Records, damn it! You have the time for it!

I mean I am working right now...

gooeythehamster said:

Never been called froggie legs before. But come to think of it, they are kinda long and skinny.

TheFrog said:

Gooey just can't help it but pushing the right buttons...

wow, and i thought the strokes we're a hype... please!
listened to it the other day and i heard complete melody ripp-offs; let me think.. summer in the city and i think atomic by blondie and... in other words, welcome one day fly-ers

They're true.

I saw them live at the Leeds Festival last August and they were great. At that point, I only had the single "Darts Of Pleasure" which is genius. "Take Me Out" is even better (the radio edit misses of the whole intro) and I like the album too.

The tour has caught the band by surprise with many of the UK dates having to be switched to larger venues. Check http://www.alive.co.uk gig news for more info.

Well, you can whine about it or just go and buy tickets and enjoy it.

ALL music is ripped off.

And I got me tix.
