Onto Tubelord. Great name for a band.... with their debut (I think?) single on Big Scary Monsters. From the second it starts the it's just bursting to get out of your speakers. I've not heard a more energetic enthusiastic sounding record for a while. It reminded me of when I first heard 'Caught By The Fuzz' by Supergrass. It's caught somewhere in between Placebo and Foals with a melodic sounding Built To Spill style chorus. One of the better indie sevens we've heard in a while! 'Feed Me A Box of Words' is it's filthy name.Tubelord head out on their first proper UK tour this week including four dates over in Ireland and the BSM St Patrick's Day Party in London on Monday. The band are featured in the new issue of Rock Sound, have a lovely little mention coming in NME tomorrow and been enjoying some nice airplay from Xfm. Oh and Subba-Cultcha have just reviewed the debut single and said "it’s been a while since a UK post-hardcore band offered so many ideas in such a short amount of time!". Members of We Are Scientists, Mystery Jets, Hadouken, The Subways and other indie-street-cred-cool bands have been spotted rocking out at recent London shows and I'm going to take myself off of the fence and say that they're going to be a very important band over the next 12 or so months.
