Love them - seen them twice live, very witty banter between tracks -
all of their videos are better than most bands can dream of. most are free to watch on their myspace.com page - current album 'superabundance' has a special edition with a vid for each song (most home-made)on a dvd (think it's ntsc)
they've got a quirky englishness which i love.

Young Knives are just now entering my consciousness. Craig had posted previously about them in Next Wave, now Tileboy's post in the Next Wave video of the day reminded me of their Kids In America cover that I grabbed somewhere. I can only find a live version on YouTube...

I'm finding they're much more than just this. Really good intro album, Voices of Animals and Men a few years ago. Haven't picked up their Superabundance album from last year yet - some good singles though. Thanks all for the tips.
