I am going to be really ignorant and say that I have only read one or two posts in here, but I know it's a see/saw sort of love for the Arctics. Their debut is still essential listening and is the zero's debut answer to the 90's Definitely Maybe. Musically adventurous? No. Full of energy, verve and HONESTY? Yes! I think the Arctics could'nt really give a flying dutchman whether you like their singing in regional accents at all. Why should they? I am immensely proud of a British band sounding British and not pandering to an international audience. Our identity is slowly being leeched away by commercialism, so I applaud a band that revels in it's Englishness. Are they the saviours of music per se? Of course not, but they are honest and are true to their roots. Good lads!
