They won’t be playing pubs like this for long. Despite standing out like a sore thumb on a line-up of lairy lad-rockers, the stylish Anglo-American sextet effortlessly won over a sceptical audience with their intriguing mix of Pulp-esque synth pop with AF orchestration. Time constraints initially allowed them only two songs, but they impressed the promoters so much they played another five- their own songwriting may still adhere too rigidly to familiar templates but it’s performed with such vitality that it doesn’t matter, and their cover of Eleanor Rigby alone deserves to see them hit the big time.
