The more I listen to this tune the more I gotta have by this band. I've done a search and there's very little info available, probably because they were not around very long. Their CD's, what little they produced, are difficult to find, thus very pricey. Damn!

Now that's the kind of post I like to see. Thanks , good tune Grunch . For what it's worth , I deleted that reply from the other forum . If you can make a grown man giggle like a 13 year old girl for 10 minutes then that should say it all. [:)] "Sometimes the most obvious things are the hardest to understand ". In this case it's now obvious to me that you were only trying to have a little fun . Hope there's no hard feelings man.

I think you can get their stuff on Red Eye records site.
Pricey, indeed.
I may have to splurge. Thanks, Grunch!

That's the site from where I got "Umbrella". £30 for it was eye-wincing it has to be said. As for the album, when they stop doing jangle-pop is where the problem starts and that sadly happens more than once.
