So, this new single of theirs is making all the rounds on the blogosphere, and rightly so. It sounds to me like a catchy kickback to 80's pop-intelligent rock. They're also kicking off an expansive US tour in just under a weeks time, along with The Editors. If you're in the area, you should go along, since both bands are definitely worth seeing.
