I picked up on these guys about two weeks ago, and it turns out I'm still quite into them."The Storm" comes in as the 8th song on the band's recently-released album We're The Ones. It reminds me quite a lot of The ...

Here's another one that doesn't exactly "fit the mould" on Indie Shuffle, and yet... I feel compelled to blog it.
The Yorkeshire-based quartet are using their music "to help advance equality and unity; to help break down barriers that divide us." I ...

Warning: This song is from 1997.
