These young Brits pull elements from power pop, new wave, Brit pop, and 70's punk rock and mash it all together to create some catchy radio-friendly rock. At times the production seems to have polished away too much of the grit, and the lyrics are kind of silly, but the band's energy and hooks keep it mostly fun and entertaining. If I ever turned on the radio and heard "Message From Yuz" or "Lay Down The Law" I'd be so pleasantly surprised I wouldn't even switch it over to my iPod until the commercial break.
