The hotly tipped New Yorkers sure can't be faulted for liveliness, but for all their energy and enthusiasm there's a lack of catchiness in their songwriting that prevents them engaging as much as they should. The two-drum set up works excellently, and at their best they evoke a infectious Man Man-meets-Harlem Shakes vibe that's impossible to dislike, but overall they fall short of the greatness they're obviously capable of. Supports Django Django were pretty impressive though, despite a curtailed set- avant-garde indie-pop with synths and coconut shells and a singer that sounds a bit like Alex Kapranos with a cold.
