Editorial Reviews

2007 debut album from the hotly tipped Leeds band produced by Will Jackson [Kaiser Chiefs, The Music, Embrace]. The Pigeon Detectives play a slightly eccentric brand of Punk/Pop, influenced by the original Punk scene as well as the more recent Britpop scene. They avoid the so-called 'Punk' influences of the '90s and stick to their young guns throughout. Features 12 tracks including the singles 'Romantic Type', 'I Found Out' and 'I'm Not Sorry'. Dance to the Radio Records. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

It's a disgrace that this album STILL isn't sold in the US. This is Brit rock at its absolute finest. A perfect album from start to finish, with clever lyrics and hooks to spare. Highly recommended!!

After seeing this album recommended in the UK Best of 2007 Lists I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. It grew on me immediately and I can't stop playing it.

1.0 out of 5 stars ...you americans are so so lucky that this isn't popular in your country..., March 21, 2008

...you know what bothers me the most? People call this indie when it is obviously Brit Pop...there's no other way to describe it...songs about a guy stalking his girlfriend around town; not being sorry about something or other and that he's not romantic and he likes what he chooses to like (yes...what ever you say Mr. Curlyhead) they really are nothing new and are reliant on big choruses about how he wants to go out with a 17 year old at the age of 24...basic guitars with meek attempts at Brit poppy solos which all end badly...

...this isn't my type of music at all and that's why I'm so critical of it...so yes if you think I am biased then that is because I am...this is mainstream drivel for people who walk around covered head to toe in topshop...don't...please?
