Anybody heard these guys? Theyve had 2 singles that are regularly played on Phantom and I think they sound remarkably like other bands. When I first heard 'The Age of Revolution' I was sure it was Franz Ferdinand, and with 'The Sweet Spot' I could swear Im listening to QOTSA... Anybody else? |

I know this is a wild one, but I find a bit of The Divine Comedy and Pugwash in them. Mind you, that could just be me. |

Its brilliant.I have the album since it came out around 6 weeks ago and been listening regularly.....
Concept album about cricket..i hate cricket but love this album... I used to dislike Hannon but this is a gem...
Its growing slowly in popularity too... Have checked out Pugwash on the back of this and love it!
For me, its my fave Irish record of the year so far...... |

And the penny drops. No I did not realise that it actually is Neil Hannon and Pugwash. I knew there was sarcasm in Aidans comment but I didnt understand until now! |

They are the musical equivalent of lighting farts.

I know people for whom that would be high praise indeed. |
