HUNDRED REASONS / IDEAS ABOVE OUR STATION

It's been nearly 2 years since they released their first E.P. and it must have been the hardest thing, not to rush out an album but to wait untill everything was in place and then release it.

It was certainly the smartest thing they could have done, because of their tireless touring they have built up their following, improved as musicians and most importantly, because it has 3 singles on it, it seems more like an old friend than a debut release. Even the tracks you haven't heard seem familiar and new tracks like, "What Thought Did" and "Oratorio" sit snugly among favourites "If I Could" and "Silver" every song on this is a gem and if I do have any criticism it's that it isn't very long but that's the only gripe I have.

This is a very good start to what I am sure will be a very promising career and another band to be added to the recent resurge of British bands, well done lads. BUY THIS OR ELSE!
