Dogs Die in Hot Cars

Interesting name for a band, huh?

I've been listening to their album, "Please Describe Yourself" this week and I can't get over how similar they sound to bands like XTC, Big Country and Dexy's Midnight Runners. Their lyrics are playful and cute and the music is poppy and fun.

If you have time, take a listen on amazon.com. It's amazing how similar they can sound to some to the aforementioned bands.

There not my cup of tea amongst a crop of groups who are re doing the '80's guitar style, but they are one of the better ones.
I'd recommend The Kaiser Chiefs if you like that sort of stuff, their new single 'Oh My God' is very good, i think they only have released two singles so far, the other being 'I predict a riot' http://www.kaiserchiefs.co.uk/music.php .

i agree, they are definitely not my favorite band among all those, but are up there.

The name Kaiser Chiefs sound really familiar. I think my friend was telling me about them. Thanks for the links. :) :D

Do you listen to The Futureheads at all?

"I love you because i Have to" is all i know by them (the local HMV did not have their LP in over Xmass!) and it is possibly the best song Talking Heads NEVER made! :thumb:
