The Young Knives

Turn Tail

There’s no doubt the Young Knives are masters of bouncy millennial Britpop, but when they get all dark’n’stormy things go from good to better. ‘Turn Tail’ is a swooping, swaying bounder that’s stacked with as much pathos as it is bits that make you want to pop your fist in the air and shake it with glee until it drops off. The unexpected industrial grunge middle eight is pretty ace too.

I have to admit i got all giddy when i heard this song,.full of suprises and its a stormer that should bring them to the masses but sadly people go for the likes of tcrap like razorlight etc i met them and they are great guys.
