Brilliant album... only confirmed what I knew before I listened to it, anyway. Can hear your influences in there (The: Beatles, Strokes, Cure, Smiths), but you've absolutely got your own distinct sound. No doubt one of the best bands around... glad to have you in Sydney.
Hey, Just wanted to drop by, and say that especially now that it's so close, I'm muchly anticipating number 2 :) It must feel so good to be finally putting it out there.
Somehow, though, I bet I will forget I ordered it and run out to buy another copy on the day ha ha.
I want to pre-order your album to get the tape, but I don't like getting signed copies of things... I've asked JB's about it previously and if it says signed you can't get it unsigned. Annoying! Can I get the tape any other way?
