The Xcerts - Crisis In The Slow Lane [Single]

Xtra Mile/King Tuts Recordings

Hailing from Glasgow and sounding the way they do you get the feeling that The Xcerts are going to have countless comparisons to Biffy Clyro and to be honest I'm not going dissuade from that particular argument as there really is something incredibly Biff-esque about them.

Emotional, Power songs = Check

Slight Scottish/Yank drawl = Check

Destined to soundtrack T in The Park's highlight show = Probably a Check!

The Xcerts don't make an entirely original racket but that's not to say they are heavily reliant on the sounds of others. 'Crisis In The Slow Lane' is an incredibly catchy track that mixes the slow/fast/slow combination's with expertise and despite it's lack of originality The Xcerts have been able to pull off the trick of being exceptionally good at their sound despite endless comparisons to others.

The Xcerts sounding similar to Biffy Clyro is surely a comparison that is not only just, but surely also welcome? The Xcerts are for fans of Biffy Clyro and if you are lucky enough to see/hear The Xcerts you will find minimal (if any) disappointment.
