Sounds Like
That band who played on the Titanic as it went down, or maybe the fall of the Roman Empire... with a catchy chorus.
The Little Philistines are a melodic pop group based in London, where they create catchy pop songs with decent lyrics and tones of underlying menace. Rob and John sing lead vocals with backing harmonies from Emily and Adam, while Matt bangs the drums. The group's sound is bolstered by violin and trumpet.
Formed in the sweaty crucible of 2006, The LP's have since recorded two collections of pop music and gigged across London. You can contact them here or at thelittlephilistines@gmail.com
Bus Pass is two minutes of sharp indiepop perfection; daft-but-clever lyric, slick vocals, driving guitars. Fab - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 music
Good stuff! Reminds me of early Futureheads....which I obviously love - Peter Brewis, Field Music
...spiky post-punk with a real tune...In what is possibly the worst year for underground music from England that I can remember this is a nice reminder of its glorious adventures of yore - mp3hugger.com
...like Bloc Party letting their hair down - Artrocker, Top (16) tracks of 2008
Schizophrenic alt-pop...a welcome change from bands regurgitating variations on a well worn theme...The Little Philistines can be filed under very promising - The Devil Has The Best Tuna
Great skewed indie rock with a mod influence that fits somewhere between early XTC and maybe the Futureheads - IndiePages Demo of the Week
Zipping between the good UK indie of the 90s and deceptive tunefulness with cunning aplomb, The Little Philistines have, in Another Song, a signature tune with a chorus that goes on for miles - A New Band a Day
The Little Philistines are not your average pop rock group, simply because they take a step beyond the norm and offer much more through both music and lyrics - yoDIGit.com

Oscar Wilde once stated that “I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones”. Of course there is a waspish humour within such a remark but it also focuses upon one of life’s great delights: New stuff. New stuff. Whether it’s a relationship or a pair of socks or a delicious, shimmering piece of Youreyeslie gorgeousness you can’t quite beat the chemical high that stems from beholding something new, surprising and unknown. The website has been updated with nothing but newness. So head to youreyeslie.com and take a wander through our cyber-Parthenon, exulting in the awe inspiring, humanity-affirming creations of the Youreyeslie design team. And then, once you’ve satiated your eyes make a couple of courageous clicks and take a little piece of the museum home with you.
