Anyone heard of these? Saw them on BBC3 at Reading doing an acoustic song. Thought they sounded great, i really like the guys voice. Just had a search for them on the trusty interweb and they sound pretty cool. Anyone know them, like them? I'm as poor as poor can be at the moment so cant afford any albums though - bah!

Sam's cool. Always used to stay at our house whilst working the toilet circuit and is one of the most sincere guys ever - believes in what he's singing about one hundred percent. And that comes across in his music, if you ask me.

So is it just him? Or is it a band? Slightly confused!

Just him from my understanding.

I'm so lazy. Still never heard him.

It's largely him. But, depending on the size of the show, he sometimes uses a live drummer, cornet player and others. Obviously this has become more common since he moved to a major.

Heard a few tunes by him/them recently but can't remember where. I seem to have the album on pre-order at a competitor so I suspect I was drunk at the time.

Completely wrong in my opinion. He is far too stuck up, has a high view of himself plus his music isnt all that great, certainly not worthy of the recognition he will be getting.

Plus he looks like a fat duck, true.

He's very confident in what he does, and some might interpret it as arrogance, but in no way is he stuck up. Considering all the success he's having he's very down to earth, if you ask me. Although I'd like to know where you're basing this from. If it's a two minute conversation you had once then it's not really valid, is it?

Pft, Sam rocks. I used to go see him at Chinneries before he was famous.

He certainly isn't stuck up. :rolleyes:

I saw him at Leeds fest yesterday, I think it was.

Never heard his stuff before, but I enjoyed it. He had a drummer and another player on the cornet when I saw him.

Saw him at Reading - loved it.

moody · 21 Oct 2006 at 14:31

Really enjoying the album.

Heard of him aaaaaaaaages ago through a friend that knows him.
Is he getting big now???

THMRK · 21 Oct 2006 at 17:01

Signed to a major. He got in the top 40 of the charts with his album. So, I'd say hes on his way...

Wow, shows how much attention I pay to stuff.

Get Cape played at my local Rugby Club a few weeks back. I didn't go in the end as Snappa were playing and they're my favorite local band ever.

i love the EP, but the album was a total let-down. the lyrics are very pretentious, but i like Whitewash is Brainwash
