Love Is A Cruise Missile

The Distance

unsigned

WE SAY

We don't know too much about this band and we suspect they won't sail effortlessly on to the cover of the NME, but we have a feeling they could fill a niche somewhere between The Beautiful South and the Barenaked Ladies. And sell a lot of records. They have a nice way with songwriting, and there's no-one else around quite like them.
