Listening to them on Napster right now...very catchy stuff. 'Colour It In' is awesome.

'Colour It In' has kind of a Bloc Party flavor with a twist of The Cure...

They sound like Bombay Bicycle Club.

What's your definition of "power pop," you hemorrhaging, syphilis-laden tampon?

These guys definitely seem to have grown up listening to the many, many good british power pop and DYI bands of the late 70s and 80s.

I never really heard them until you played them on the radio. I downloaded several of their songs and now I'm listening to them all of the time. :D

I was playing stuff off of their first release, which is very good. I'm less enthralled with their more recent release. Apparently their drummer went into rehab, and has no plans to rejoin the band. If you've heard them, the excellent drumming would appear to be hard to replace...
