Thought they are due a thread by now since their superb new album is due out soon:

 

TONES OF TOWN - OUT 22 JANUARY 2007 in UK - 20 Feb in US

 

Tones Of Town is the follow-up to their 2005 self titled debut.

 

For anyone new to them - From the North-east England, they were formed by original Futureheads drummer Peter Brewis, along with his brother David and Andrew Moore. They don't really sound like The Futureheads though.

 

Anyway, I think they are a great band and a great example of some of the great, clever music being made by some of the musicians/bands in my region.

 

That's it. Been a fan for a while yet no thread here so....

Field Music are a very good new band, their debut was very good, last year's album of rarities was also good, and what I have heard of the new album, I will say it's an early album for my top 5 of 2007.

 

 

A hell of a lot better than all the Libertines wannabe bands which are going around at the moment, why copy a band which was average at best?

Yeah, never liked any of the supposed "trendy" NME bands that got right on my tits last year. It's about creating a 'scene' all the time. I hate it and I'm glad to be no part of it.

 

Anyway, yes...Field Music are still a pretty small band but what they have done so far is exciting.

If you have true talent, you don't need a music magazine pushing you like your the new Beatles.

 

This is when Nik comes in and says they are shit...

Yeah, it's the magazines that mostly create/sustain the "scenes" or "trends". If NME and similar mags started going all Hip-Hop-Funk-Disco you would eventually see bands like that pop up from all over the place.

 

Anyway, this thread ain't about that.
