Judging by their singles TNP come across as just another British Indie band. Listening to the album creates another dimension. The sub ****ney vocal delivery is still annoying but there is musically a lot more going on than mere white guitar rock.

Jagged rythmns and forays into electronic tinged guitar recalls early 80's no wave Punishment Of Luxury and The Pop Group.

I have to admit this album is a lot more expansive than their two singles allude to and amidst the average guitar indie that has crept upon the UK charts recently, they stand a little higher in their sound and aspirations.
