London, literature, bandage on hand, boyish good looks... hmmm...

Quintessentially British? They don't dig that, but bloody hell, it's hardly world music. It doesn't get much more new wave British indie than this but they are pleasantly, suprisingly, an enjoyable live band. And they have mad hair. The lead singer has, at first glance, the same hair as, say, Carl Barat when he's got a bit of length going on, but one half of his head is shaved... mental. Good name, too.
