A steady British band that makes direct, catchy songs without fussing over their place in rock history.
For a quick sense of them, 'Ruby' has that classic anthemic chorus, while 'Everyday I Love You Less And Less' shows their sharper, more direct side.
They've been putting out reliably energetic indie rock since 2000, with songs like 'Ruby' and 'Never Miss A Beat' becoming genuine hits. Their sound pulls from influences like The Smiths and Talking Heads, but they keep it straightforward and anthemic. They've released seven studio albums through 2016's 'Stay Together,' maintaining a steady output that's more about the songs than any grand statement.
They formed in Leeds in 2000 with Ricky Wilson on vocals. In 2012, Vijay Mistry replaced original drummer Nick Hodgson, but the core sound of energetic indie rock with big choruses has remained consistent through their albums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
