Head Games

Five O'Clock Heroes

Glaze

WE SAY

We didn't think we were Five O'Clock Heroes fans until we heard this, their new single. Great vocal that reminds us a little of David Byrne but more of someone else who we can't quite place (let us know who via the messageboard). Head Games is a fabulously concise and purposeful pop song that does exactly the right things at exactly the right times, produced by Eli Janney (Secret Machines and The Rapture). They're a part US, part UK four piece who've spent recent months touring with The Bravery, Brendan Benson, The Rakes and The Paddingtons. They're available for licensing and publishing opportunities. See them on Channel 4’s 4:Play on June 30. The video is here.
