    I’ll never understand why these lads aren’t bigger than they are, the first album is fucking incredible. I honestly thought they were on a kings of leon style trajectory to superstardom, but it never hapenned. They’re a class band, massively underrated

    Saw them in Boston last night. Absolutely fantastic. They closed the encore with this song but didn't play 'Strangers' at all during the set. Harry was really flattered by the enthusiastic crowd at the show, even though it was only 2/3 full for a 650-capacity crowd. Might be my favorite album of the year, either 'Ritual' or the new Ringo Deathstarr.
