When a whole ranks of new guitar bands appeared in the mid-2000s to supply the clubs with catchy tunes and lots of hits through jagged, danceable indie, many of them came to stay.

This is also due to the fact that with a few exceptions you have never tried to chase the old sound and at least tried to offer something new. You have to give them that. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work. Her ninth album qualifying miles also looks somewhere else.
This time on the largest stages that your wide -walled sound can find. Thick, dumpled and above all loud guitars should judge it, but put too much too often over the charm of the texts and melodies of Keith Murray. You yourself speak of reflection and the right time to look back. Maybe it would have been a good idea to learn musically from the past. Because whether this uninspired sound has a future remains uncertain.
