Think Sheffield, think steel, Pulp and some pretty rubbish football teams. The rest is pretty much standard fare and may I say what a band they turn out to be. A trio of whippersnappers, one who owns a unique and wonderful voice, the other 2 who supply some decent instrumental props. ‘Dancing’ is their debut single from earlier in the year and what an audio sorbet it is. This is sonic freshness, boundless invention held in check in case too much is revealed. And when they reveal the full extent of what burns inside it should make for some debut LP. The word on the street is that the self same record is due in early 2010. Could be something joyful to lift the grim post Christmas blues. KD
