An emotional monster.

We bring you: indie-gaze.

Noun: The state of having triumphed.

Just when you thought Skindred had done it all..

What Burial did for dubstep, Lee Bannon might just do for drum’n’bass.

It’s a poor man’s Coldplay/Elbow/White Lies/Foals/Bloc Party/etc., and yields few rewards.

Only ten songs deep, None The Wiser is a short, inoffensive indie-pop record, but is unlikely to catch the ear of anyone outside the band’s established cult following.

The opening title track is one of the best on offer, fusing trademark swagger from Webbe with crunchy metal chugs, settling into a more steadfast punk in Worlds On Fire and the ballad-like We Live.
