They have a new single out on October 1st called “Jacqueline”, and will be getting ready to headline a new tour for that month.

I should also mention that if you preorder the single, you also get a limited signed artwork (which is always a nice bonus to get extras!)

Although I say a lot of hype for this band, they’ve been around since 1996 and have released five albums already! And they were considered by many to be the first guitar-driven band that’s all the rage now with the kids.

Their first album reached number 5 in the UK charts and one of their singles “Goodbye” reached number twenty-one on the top 40. Unfortunately, they never quite reached the American audiences.

I recently saw this band as one of the spotlighted bands on myspace (which probably meant that the record company threw some cash at Tom.)

Anyroad, I did like this new single. It sounds very British and the acoustic guitar reminds me of an older 60s sound. There’s not too much lyrics and it seems like a really short song.
