On their debut LP, this fresh-faced trio from Northern Ireland deliver straight-up, catchy-as-hell indie pop that sounds like Tokyo Police Club meets Franz Ferdinand. True, these lads aren’t reinventing the wheel, but what they forfeit in originality they make up for in perfect execution of cute dance-rock anthems.

Produced by Eliot James (Bloc Party) and mixed by Parisian studio wiz Philippe Zdar (Cassius, Phoenix), the album’s 10 tunes sound massive, slick and ready for the dance floor without sacrificing the appealing sincerity in Alex Trimble’s vocals. Front and centre is impressive guitar work the band’s got a knack for writing spring-loaded hooks that build into beautiful shoegaze-inspired swells.
