These guys were from Bristol, and so was I, so there's your link. It helps greatly that they have some cracking songs, and their shows were something else. I remember one particularly, at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, where they started with just Patrick Duff and his acoustic guitar for the first track, and added a band member or an electric instrument for each song. Once the whole band were on, they added a string player per song, so about half way through the whole stage was full of people, and it sounded amazing.
Never so keen on the third album, but this single's off the second LP (Love And Other Demons), which was the first I got into. Apparently their b-sides collection has just come out ('iTunes only'), but in case you haven't invested, here are some good ones for you... All good stuff.
