The Muscle Club - 'Fragmented Ideas from Young Lungs'



Label: Killing Moon Records



Hailing from Cardiff, this young quartet have arrived with a mini-album packed with indie guitar jangle, shouty choruses, melodic riffs and witty literate lyrics. With knowing hat-tips to Kate Bush, by way of The Futureheads, they have succeeded in injecting a fresh energy into a form of jangle-pop that has a tendency to sound over-familiar these days. This collection does more than imply that The Muscle Club may well have an edge that makes them stand out from the crowd.
