Hopes Of The States

I managed to pick up a copy of The Lost Riots on Friday and I'm in love. This has to be one of the better albums I've bought recently. It has a touch of The Verve about it, possibly due to the use of strings on quite a few songs. Highly recommended.

The other CD I picked up was The Holiday Plan's EP. I caught this band up in Leeds, supporting Reuben, by chance, and having listened to the EP, they are as good as I remember them. They are taking part in some competition on MTV2 to win a recording contract. I hope they make it.

Talking of Reuben, I discovered the reason I couldn't find their albums was that it doesn't come out until tomorrow. The bloke in Virgin wouldn't let me have a copy even though he said they had plenty in stock :(.

Reuben - Racecar is Racecar Backwards

Reuben was the other band I saw up in Leeds last month and managed to pop in Virgin at TCR on Monday to get a copy. I really like this album. They are sort of a heavier, but more playful, version of Hundred Reasons. The highlight of the album is the current single, Freddy Kreuger
