 to access audio and video on collective you need real player.Tweed is good. From the improbably named town of Ashby de la Zouch comes a young, tweed-suit and tie-favouring trio with a bass player called House Of Lords. If their personal style is eccentric, The Young Knives’ debut LP is no less so. Owing much to 80s post punk (Andy Gill is at the controls), it also favours prog, new wave and Syd Barrett’s fractured psychedelia, but is packed with meaty pop hooks. Like their champions, Futureheads, The Young Knives sing of contemporary British life, spiking the prosaic with the poetic and the plain peculiar. Sharp. The Young Knives - Voices Of Animals And Men, released 14 August 06 on Transgressive.
