I can see huge things on the horizon for these guys on the basis of their EP.
I'm totally in love with it.
In my eyes they deserve to be as big as Arcade Fire are right now.
Or am I just deluded?

I worry that they will fail to be as big as Arcade Fire
and end up this centuries Belle & Sebastian - forever toiling against the mainstream while the undercurrent still praise them highly.
I don't know if worry is the right word though.
either of the two
would be rather wonderful.
But I've got this need for the whole world to hear them.
^^^This....
I really hope they go on to huge things as I think they are an excellent band and I really enjoy seeing them live, however I do think they will end up as underground darlings so to speak.
But you never know....
I don't know
how big can broken records get?
bigger than i thought though, obviously
yeah but there'a limit
int there
unless theybreak away form those obv influences
I can see a sold out ULU on the horizon tho
I really can. It's there. Can you see? Just to the left of those trees and just beyond that burning pyre of Enemy albums
fuck me.
just listened to nearly home on their myspace. it's incredible!
too big to reply to emails anyway
wow, they're brilliant!
can you get there music anywhere yet?
album?
single is coming or has come out
on young turks. and they have an ep. that's what it says on their myspace.
...
I find them kind of weak. I don't get it.
In any case, bands like this are never going to have the chance to grow because of the size of this country and the way the music industry is run here.
They'll end up being way bigger in Europe if they get the chance to get big at all.
bigger than Ballboy
smaller than Hefner.
