Honest Mistake

The Bravery

Loog

WE SAY

No soundclip. Another buzz band who top their hats to the '80s in a big way, but we'll forgive them as there's a hint of Joy Division in there as well, and an awesome chorus to boot, not to mention a great lyric. We've been trying to get this as a Record of the Day for some time, during which the buzz has grown from small and US-based to large and Transatlantic. We understand they've just signed to Loog/Polydor for Europe and IDJ for the US.
