Number 1 in the charts, first single going for silly money on eBay and the hype is such that even posters like this one:

are now going for £30 or more...

I bought the current single last week out of curiosity as it was £1.99. Had no idea it was going to go in at number 1, which is frankly insane.

I have to say though that it's a really good song and the second track on there is even better. Shame about the pointless instrumental but fair play to 'em.

I actually really like their stuff. I've downloaded quite a few tracks recently and I don't think there's a duff one amongst'em. Not all of them are world changing or anything, but they've got this certain aura to them that makes them fairly entrancing; they have a mix of rawness and confidence.

Having said that I do think it's a shame that they've got so big so quickly. A band always seems to have more romance and seem more special when the whole world doesn't know about them.

If this band can overcome the hype they really will be something amazing.

Wasn't slagging off the band, I like what I've heard a lot, I just think posters going for £30 for a band that's only been around 5 minutes is just daft.

Yeh don't worry I didn't think you were slagging them off. And I do agree with you, there is a lot of sillyness goinf on around this band at the mo. I just think that they are more deserving of the silliness than others.

i think they're an incredibly exciting band. confident but not cocky, cracking lyrics, and just really alive and vibrant.

wish i was 17 again!
