Irish chaps, The Thrills, have a new album on the horizon which will hopefully contain more of their usual catchy tunes.

You can have a look at some vidclips :

As a fan of the band Keane, I was looking out for their performance at the recent VH1 Honors show appearing on the internet - and now that it has, I’m a big fan of what they have done on their cover of the Genesis song That’s All. Okay, it’s not exactly a big departure from the original but that’s not always a bad thing - and it may help introduce Genesis to a new generation of listeners.

The first album from Fran Healy and the boys in quite a while - and thankfully it’s been worth the wait!

With most albums, after a couple of listens in quick succession then there are one or two tracks which you want to skip - then with further listens you find another couple until you basically end up listening to just the handful of songs which have eventually been released as singles! Since buying this album a couple of days ago, I’ve listened to it right through 7 or 8 times and haven’t skipped a track yet.
