Waa wicky-waa. What a hell of a couple of days. We’re pretty much the 2013 role model of efficiency. In fact, the rest of you chumps may as well give it up now. Feels like we’ve got this game licked. We announced the release of our new-guys The Vestals the other day. We then unveiled the monster Pure Love tour they’re going to be embarking on in February. We’re pretty much getting a boner just thinking about it. Yeah, we said it. BONER. Over BANDS. That’s how we DO. Do we sound arrogant? The short answer to that is, well, yeah. We received near-official confirmation of that last night at the first of many clubnights we’ve rolled out with buddy-buds No Quarter and Just Because – that is to say, that we’re not quite at the level where we can wear the “industry c-word” (we don’t fully extrapolate the c-word unless we know all general recipients are down with it) or even the “industry dick” (dick’s fine, however) monickers, because according to this particular wise-ass, we’ve not reached that level as of yet. As some sort of pittance so as not to hurt anyone’s feelings, we were awarded the title of “industry unknown-quantity”. Said title-dispenser did explain what that even means, but we’ve forgotten.
Anyway, in celebration of our new-found sense of obnoxiousness confidence, here’s Birmingham bunch PRISMS and their spicy Track Of The Day For I Have Sinned. This may well be something that we should have clambered atop some time ago, but as we’ve already revealed, we forget shit all the time. These guys released the Creater EP way back in May ’12, presumably from which this effort is lifted, and indeed made it all the way down to London in the live context towards the end of last year. There’s a sweeping undertone of 80s-ness about these dudes; we’re thinking vibes consistent with that of Tears For Fears andHurts twinned up with that/those of Bastille and Health. The chorus is like the Megatron to the rest of the track’s Transformers. Get into it.
