Bombay Bicycle Club - I Had The Blues But i Shook Them Loose (8/10)


These young bands from the UK's capital have hit the nail on the head with this debut album produced by the glorious Jim Abbiss (producer of the Arctic Monkeys Mercury prize winning Debut Album)
The album is pure 'NME' indie oozing freshness and youthful vibrancy with anthems dotted around for today's youth. Inspired is the writing with a very honest approach to life, which the listener can really connect to. Tracks like 'cancel on me' & 'it's always like this' stand out for me personally as the big hits, but others such like 'dust on the ground' are eager to get to the forefront and are beginning to be played and to be heard. Bombay definitely have a unique edge to there work while keeping well within the parameter of the indie scene, they have captured a great following on the gigging scene with the NME backing them massively, and rightfully so too. What a fantastic attempt for such a young band, the future is very bright for BBC. This band could catapult to the peak of the indie scene with the correct mentoring and guidance through the unpredictable 'music scene'.
