I heard about this lot last year some time, in a newspaper article about bands to look out for. I think the article said they showed influences from some bands I really liked (namely Sigur Ros, Radiohead and Pink Floyd) which made their name stick in my head.
Anyway, I think that is bullshit. They may have liked those bands, but they don't really sound like any of them. Maybe grandiose Radiohead-style at times, perhaps somewhat like Muse too, but the vocals are different from those.
I got their debut album this week, and it is excellent, despite it not exactly being as different as the initial description would suggest.
It's ambitious for what is British mainstream rock, though. I say people who like Radiohead or Muse may like them, but who knows?
