Putting their casual sexism and shit hair to one side for a moment, you’ve got to admire The Pigeon Detectives’ work ethic. Not a five-year coke haze between albums for this lot; a year on from their debut and it’s back to the indie coalface with their solitary idea – namely, a middle-eight so predictably shout-along you can practically smell the snakebite and sick through the speakers. It’s a small wonder they don’t release an album every week – and a blessing, too, since this plodding meat’n’potatoes grit-rocker proves them less capable of musical progression than Kerry Katona.

There a great little band The Pigeon Detectives, why do NME hate them? Ace first CD and I'm looking foward to the second one which comes out next month.

I think this song is no where near as good as their earlier songs. This just proves they are a one trick pony

You can slag them off all you want, But they're always going to be better musically than you. Thats why they're doing this and your some nerd sat behind a computer screen doing shit reviews.
