This is a Britpop super group that includes members of British Sea Power, Electric Soft Parade, and Tenderfoot. You figure that Peter Doherty is in a few bands, so what not others? So this album is a curiosity. It is a combination of punk and alt-country. They recorded it in five days. This album is a legend. "The Most Fun" is a hilarious song. In the song "Heard About Your Band" there is stuff about Karen O and Sleater-Kinney. Many of these songs are short. There is a cover version of "Jackson" by Nancy Sinatra. One of the best songs is "You're So Pretty" which encapsulates a lot of college radio music. This is an excellent album. If it is a real band, I don't know.

Oh man I love this band. Give Blood is just an amazing album... it's fun, it's poppy, it's dance-a-rific!! Can't wait for The Beatific Visions to come out. I've heard them referred to as "Country Punk"... I hate pigeonholing bands, but have to say I love the "Country Punk" classification - it really seems to fit. If you want some great new music check these guys out.

This album kicks a**. If you're looking for something new...something that's punk and short and wonderful....look no further.
