Was flicking the channels the other night and found the music programme on Channel 6. Pretty decent. Anyway, I caught a video from this Tom Vek bloke and It was pretty good.. Is his album worth picking up. Who would you compare him to

Don't have the album but he played a great set at Oxegen last year. Kinda indie-rock with a punkish feel and electro inserts - loud and impressive.

saw him a year or so back in whelos liked it a lot strange 'dance moves' if you can call them that! Very loud drummer! Altho in hindsight after lightning bolt things are different!

Was miffed didn't see him live last time. Very good record. Slightly disjointed, bit like a less floor-friendly LCD soundsystem, but good nonetheless.. Check him out http://www.myspace.com/tomvek

tom vek is well worth checking out, "nothing but green lights" is kinda david byrne/talking heads esque, videos for it is really good as well. the album is kinda patchy in parts but overall its a lot more interesting than the crop of english new wave/punk revivalists doing the rounds. tom vek recorded part of the album in dublin (think it was creamy sonic studios on exchequer st)

God, I hate "Nothing But Green Lights"! "Once In a Lifetime" meets "Losing My Edge"; entirely derivative and still managing to sound naff. I guess there's no accounting for taste.
