Anybody heard these guys? Theyve had 2 singles that are regularly played on Phantom and I think they sound remarkably like other bands. When I first heard 'The Age of Revolution' I was sure it was Franz Ferdinand, and with 'The Sweet Spot' I could swear Im listening to QOTSA... Anybody else?

I know this is a wild one, but I find a bit of The Divine Comedy and Pugwash in them. Mind you, that could just be me.

Its brilliant.I have the album since it came out around 6 weeks ago and been listening regularly..... Concept album about cricket..i hate cricket but love this album... I used to dislike Hannon but this is a gem... Its growing slowly in popularity too... Have checked out Pugwash on the back of this and love it! For me, its my fave Irish record of the year so far......

And the penny drops. No I did not realise that it actually is Neil Hannon and Pugwash. I knew there was sarcasm in Aidans comment but I didnt understand until now!

They are the musical equivalent of lighting farts.

Enjoy Pugwash, but have never been a fan of Neil Hannon / Devine Comedy..but I did enjoy him belt out Gigantic from the Ulster Hall
