Solid band.

[TheByrus]

I've been listening to a lot of the band since i recently discovered them on my iPod.

[FullCollaspe]

Just waiting for Blake Solomon to get here.

[Until The Bombs]

An appearance by Blake would be welcomed. His review is the sole reason I found out about them.

[wewascontenders]

just downloaded this, really liking it.

[kbi the crowing]

I've been listening to them on youtube all night fuck I want their album so bad.
I hope I can find it in a record store so I don't have to order it and pay a bunch for shipping.

[kbi the crowing]

has anyone listened to the b-sides off of the "quite little voices" or "roll up your sleeves" singles?

[tawtaw]

Love These Four Walls.

[GuitarR0cker1]

I really like both of those songs. Do they have any other albums or ep's besides These Four Walls?

There are only 2 songs from other ep's that aren't on These Four Walls. I haven't heard either of them, though.

That's disappointing. Oh well at least it's something.

[Five-Star]

Love These Four Walls.

I came across them looking for things to do over spring break. So far I've liked what I heard. Does anyone know how they are live?

[JimGray]

Wow, by the name I was expecting absolute rubbish.

Proven wrong, much thanks!

Really? I started listening based on the name, it made me laugh so i gave them a go. Wasn't let down either :)

Iunno without any context they could sound like another generic scene band from the name

[ggolden91]

They're mind blowing. These Four Walls was my favorite album of 2009.

[Until The Bombs]

One of my favorites from last year.

[ModusPwnens]

It's like queens of the stone age but not shitty!

My point exactly. Not to judge books by their cover's but most bands with names like this sound the same. Same reason I never checked out Empire! Empire! until a few weeks ago.

HEY FUCK YOU! Just kidding, but no really.

[Until The Bombs]

Still spin this record regularly.

[kbi the crowing]

Anyone check out the new EP?

[georgedcc]

I love we were promised jetpacks, in fact I love pretty much any music with a scottish accent. If you like them it might be worth checking out, Biffy Clyro, Frightened Rabbit, The Xcerts, Twin Atlantic, Jocasta Sleeps, The Twilight Sad, There Will Be Fireworks and Arab Strap

[NewKindofArmy]

this is a really solid record definitely. quiet little voices is a great song
i'm seeing their label/country mates frightened rabbit tonight, can't wait

[kbi the crowing]

I'm curious as to how their next album will be when they write a record directly from scratch

Frightened Rabbit are great. Well, The Midnight Organ Fight is anyway.

[Until The Bombs]

It's quite good. Cool to hear the different takes on songs.

I think they'll be fine, but yeah there's always room for the sophomore slump when you don't have years of material to fall back on.

[MrOctober430]

singer sounds like the dude from interpol, great stuff!

yeah "An Almighty Thud" and "Short Bursts" were new songs, and I love both of them.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Finding myself being slightly obsessed with these guys lately.

[Until The Bombs]

Just got back from seeing them. Great show.
