came across these chaps recently, they're somewhat reminiscent of the apostles of hustle, the pop group and a rather disjointed hot chip
i haven't quite made my mind up about them yet

they're decent
id like to se em live
yes
They didn't sound like any of those
when I saw them two and a half years ago (assuming it's the same Post War Years, clearly) I've heard their name bandied about so I trust they've developed since then.
the due to play camden crawl
amongst a few other high profile gigs. I really like them
We played with them at Dublin Castle a couple of years ago
and they were bloody brilliant. Best band i've ever played with.
they played my old night
and were staggeringly tight.. songs go brilliantly in all sorts of unexpected directions..
love these boyos
cannot wait to see em again at Camden Crawl. are they releasing anything?
yes
their debut 7" single 'Black Morning' should be released on 5th May on Chess Club records. Includes B sides 'You and me both' and 'Latin Holiday'.
All up on their myspace.
Truly awful
Some of the most vile, conservative, unimaginative crap I've had the displeasure of being subjected to. And how on earth do they sound like the Pop Group?
I think
you are way off there chief. Brilliant pop music with enough in the way of ideas to keep me happy.
we played with them
at Old Blue Last a few weeks ago and i really liked them!...thought they sounded quite a bit like Tom Vek. Where did he go?
funny you should say that
they supported tom vek at b'ham academy 2 a couple of years back. welllllll good gig.
i think tom vek's recording more stuff? although thats what people have been saying since 2005
^
grand job,
thinking of seeing them with does it offend you yeah? on saturday
anyone know where the proud galleries is?
Its in Camden

Post War Years
and Laurel Collective play at The Social on May 8th, and its free to get in.
