Ok, so not exactly a new release but I noticed no one had reviewed it as yet and felt that was a bit of an injustice to such a good, good album. I honestly hadn't expected to like smart casual half as much as I do, when I received it as a promo from a kind friend who represents them, I happily took...

This is a nicely heated discussion! All i can say is don't take offense to anyones opinion on music. The world is fucked up as it is, Gordon brown and George bush, nuff said.

Isn't that the point at the end of the day? To perform and get people talking about you? Well that's certainly happening in this review! Roll on the AS$$
Yes they do have two guitarists, haha. Bugger you caught me out (am I allowed to swear on here?).

I'm glad my admiration for this band has got so many people recoiling in horror, and thus earning dollars. I think you should donate me ATLEAST $500 for this alone.

and Iain (crazy guitarist) goes mad when onstage because he feels the music Chris, you don't have to be in a metal band to headbang, you could headbang to a sped up version of frank sinatra if it was in 4/4 time haha.
i play pop-punk and i go mad onstage.

Hang on a sec, you missed out the bit about his balding head in this quote, Chris!

[quote][The funniest for me is the guitarist that is playing pop music monging about
like he is a metal band. He's like Shane was in Boyzone. Trying to be rock
and roll whilst playing pop music. Now before you wonder why I
know so much about Boyzone I just Googled it to find out which one thought
he was ROCK!/QUOTE]

I fully agree with Richard.
