Back Of The Sofa - The Lines

Fraser McAlpine | 15:04 UK time, Tuesday, 18 March 2008

A SofaIt might just be a tone of voice thing, but this Wolverhampton beat combo are doing good things with a very NOW kind of formula. There should be something here to appeal to Enemy fans, Snow Patrol fans, fans of BIG MUSIC EVERYWHERE...but don't hold that against them. They also have a nice little Vampire Weekend breakdown section, and, as I said, a singer with a very appealing tone of voice. And if that sounds like I'm damning them with faint praise, well it's not meant to. This is ace!

    Its a definite 5* for me!

    There's a really good live track on their myspace at the minute.

    Its about time a good band with talent came out of the Midlands, after (in my opinion) talentless The Twang have been receiving so much hype!

    4* for me, good luck to them.
