The Long Blondes: Someone To Drive You Home Reivew
The Long Blondes were here tonight at Lee’s Palace and I probably would have tried to see them if it wasn’t for the fact that I am not 19 yet and most of these cheap concerts happen to be 19+ so I have to wait another month but who knows when the Long Blondes will be back.
The Long Blondes are from Sheffield, England and is an indie pop band that I just decided to download (and looking to buy) their album Someone To Drive You Home which had been released last week in North America.
It’s weird just downloading something just for the sake of it but the second I put on this album I loved it. Most of the songs are written by guitarist Dorian Cox but song by Kate Jackson who almost looks like Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs but who I think sings much better. The album was produced by the bassist of Pulp who I really like. This album has been addictive from top to bottom the second I put it to my ear. My favourite song by far Once and Never Again and I feel like passing it along to my friends.
I really hope this album does really well because it’s very good but I am sure not many people my age have heard of them before. This album gets a 5 out of 5 because it’s one of those you pick up and can’t put down and it’s worth the money to buy which you can’t say that about a lot of album. I give this a 5 out of 5.
