InfluencesElastica, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Clor, Miss Kittin, The Clash, Blondie, Girls Against Boys, Gwen Stefani, Ladytron, Wire, PJ Harvey, The Breeders, Courtney Love, Kraftwerk, Goldfrapp, Devo, The Go Gos, Be Your Own PET, Roxy Music, Sonic Youth, The Fall, Chicks On Speed, Cobra Killer...
Sounds Like"Sludge-sleek pop songs with spiky guitars and ear splitting noise freakouts. Ones to watch." The Guardian

"Like one of the Deal sisters in a cosmic deathray fight with Be Your Own Pets Jemina." NME

"Mistresses of implosive electro feistrawk and a wonder to behold. Nikki looks far too delicate to be playing such unfeasibly unholy bass, Melissa regularly punctuates her Meg White-like insouciance with alarming gushes of keyboard abuse, and frontwoman Becky is thoroughly inspirational, providing the missing link between Polly Harvey at her most electrifyingly pop and Kat Bjelland on an especially seethey day." Playlouder

"Brash, spiteful, tuneful, cheeky and chaotic - a refreshing blast of air." Everett True Plan B

"Gratifyingly aggressive and winningly pop." William Ravenscroft, The Times

"Urgent two minute blasts of keyboard laced, tune heavy, stiletto punk rock thrills. We Start Fires make living for the dance floor seem not merely a sensible but an indispensable life choice." Drowned In Sound
Record LabelHot Noise (UK)

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust
