Seaside Town/Miss-Understood tape

Having seriously slagged off that last pop effort (previous band's review) this I find myself liking. To be honest, it's hard not to - very pretty, very nice, a bit too nice at times, with the string arrangements and clean guitars, but they do throw in some much needed surprises, and it works. This band has imagination as well as serious unit-shifting potential and good luck to 'em. Falling somewhere between Dodgy and Space, which admittedly is a pretty sad pedigree, they know what they're doing, and they're good at it.
