Hell is for Heroes - Self Titled

[EvilGrin]

Anyone had a listen yet? Just had a first cursory listen, absolutely loved it, much better than Transmit/Disrupt I think. I'm one of these people that takes a while to warm up to albums, but I can imagine this being on a par with The Neon Handshake.

If you haven't heard it yet, go grab it, its very good! If you haven't heard of them, go get Neon Handshake and this album too, best non-mainstream british alt-rock band around I reckon!

Yep got it on Monday when it came out.

Fantastic album IMO, sort of like a combination of Neon Handshake and Transmit Disrupt stylewise. It's the current Radio 1 alternative album of the week.

Also got 2 tickets to see them on the 25th at Camden Barfly, saw them there back in April, was an awesome show!

I love the Neon Handshake. Might have to invest in this.

I thoroughly recommend that you do

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not bad album, very different from the neon handshake. My protector is pretty cool.

Just had a listen on their myspack page.

Wow, definitely on par with the debut. Transmit-disrupt was definitely a let-down in comparison.

Yeah, get it ASAP, the album to this day remains one of my very favourite. I found out about the band through a friend who recommended a listen, heard a few songs, thought they weren't bad... then I saw that they were playing locally about 2 weeks after i'd heard about them, so grabbed a few tickets for me 'n the other half. Been hooked ever since that gig (Moshulu, Aberdeen). Heaps of energy live, great performers, I can see them going places tbh (whether they want to or not considering their non-conformist anti-mainstream attitude)...

Personally couldn't get into Transmit-Disrupt so much, apart from Kamichi which I love. However, this album is definately getting close to the greatness of the neon handshake, so thoroughly recommended!
