Saw these guys at the California Coachella festival - they blew the place away and gave it their all in 101 degree heat, while wearing most excellent black and pink suits, etc. Freakin' magnanimous sound - dance-rock with LYRICS - THANK BUDDHA!!! It's about time! Can't wait to hear there upcoming album. The entire album is solid. THANK YOU INFADELS FOR MAKING THE COACHELLA EXPERIENCE A MEMORABLE ONE ! If I had the $$, I'd be over in London seeing you guys play live - and trust me, I've been tempted on several occasions to fly from Birmingham, AL to Birmingham, UK. They have a myspace page too like the rest of the world I suppose. Buy it already!

Dull moments on this album are hard to find. Energetic tracks with good variation. No need to skip tracks - very good from front to back. This is probably a good album for those of you who fancy a good screw now and then. Had it in my car for 3 days and the songs just get better. Saw these guys at Coachella and they are even better live. The end.

Stop searching for indie bands. They are the definitive one.
Ten amazing songs, from electro-pop to punk-rock, and they all deserve an hundred listenings. The sound is great, the arrangements are really fine and lyrics are clever... "Jagger '67", which is supposed to be the main single, is an explosion of synths, drums, guitars but the album gives also moments of relaxed high-quality ballads like "Murder that sound".
Let's bet on this group as the main indie-deal of the year... At least!

i must from the off endevor to admit, that quite simply as you like, i like the infadels.

they are hip. achingly so, in places. they strut and bang and yell 'whummp' and then have a fast bit of guitar or whatever. they sound as if they were dreamed up in a Rough Trade marketing guys sticky bed sheets. or in other words, They Are Good.

the record stomps and drags you through it, it passes you by so quickly you don't notice the time past- your head full of the gory details, like driving past a nasty car smash at 90mph on a freeway, and you swear that you saw a half dead guy trying to pull his decapitated girls freinds body out of their nissan mirca's burning, record, and he's bleeding everywhere, and all you can think about is if you can stop and go back and get a better look, 'cause like its much more real than the movies and then you're trying to work out if you do a U'ie at the next turn off, will you be back in time to see more or will the medics be there, not that they should bother, just send a meat truck, there all for hell any way but by the time you've thought of it all you're gone, parked up outside your house, your flies unbuttoned as you watch it all again from the eye in the sky on channel 4 news. or whatever.

they sound like the buzzcocks or talking heads maybe. or prehaps they are closer to any art school band anywhere in the world, posing, playing overly complicated nonsence, whilst there 'lead' "singer" yelps on as he was a man in his 40's doing an impression of a pre-teen doing an impression of interpol. lazy and definetly plagerising in places.

we are not the infadels, no you're not. you're possibly the most entertaining and least enjoyable band this year
