sixth album from these guys from Wales....
I actually just presumed they were American for some reason until last week,
then I mentioned them to MH on Skype and he said he'd never heard of them...
that cut out the US origin straight away for me...
so,
Alt Rock band from Wales just like the brilliant Stereophonics....
songs on this album have a bit of a Stereophonics sound happening,
but I also hear little bits of Verve, Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller and touches of Oasis...
a very good album, albeit a lengthy one...contains seventeen tracks with only a couple I don't like...
I guess in the old vinyl days this would have been what we called a "double album"...
I only own two of their albums, this one is definitely my favourite(the next one is up for posting tomorrow)...
