NME recommended them, not that that accounts for much. I really like Bible Belt.

I didn't know anything about NME recommending them..I like them when I heard "Coast" for the first time :)

I can't wait for their debut LP!

Any idea on when that might be?

No idea..heard it's coming out this autumn

:awesome: awesome, looking forward

They've started recording the debut album .. I'm really looking forward! :D

I can't stop listening to Bible Belt! :bomb:

Fans of Johnny Flynn, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver or Mumford & Sons should check out this band! "It's folky gospel music played by a post-punk band." :D

That description actually sounds highly interesting. I will put this on my list of things to do for tomorrow morning.
