mewithoutYou – Nice and Blue (pt. Two) – 1st October 2007
Yanks mewithoutYou are strumming their tunes around the UK this October, including a date at Manchester’s very own Night and Day and as a band known for their live performances it could be worth going to check them out after hearing this track. With a Bloc Party-esq arrangement and Editors style production mixed together with a is-he-speaking-or-is-he-shouting vocal style this track succeeded in intriguing me to discover more about the band. They appear to be popular enough in their home country and with the comparisons I’ve made above there is no reason why they couldn’t get a following over here in the UK. The only criticism on my part is the un-radio friendly outro which results in the song ending on a bit of a limp but apart from that it’s worth a listen. Right, I’m off now to go and find Nice and Blue (pt. One)…
3/5
