This is something of an odd choice for me to post today of all days.  I’m someone who has found myself increasingly drifting to the right economically and has watched today’s strikes with bemusement more than sympathy.  Perhaps more shockingly for someone in the indiepop scene, I don’t find Conservatives to be fundamentally reprehensible.  So a song actually called Purge Your Inner Tory probably isn’t the most politically appropriate song for me today.

I really like it though.  It’s everything that I want my indiepop to sound like, and while this won’t necessarily work for everyone, it’s ramshackle and jangly enough for me play on repeat for quite a period at a time.  As for the politics, I’ll certainly take a band that has a position, even if it’s one I find slightly silly, over one that doesn’t have one at all.  Still, looking forward to what they come up with next, and if they aren’t one of the indiepop staple bands of 2012, I’ll be rather surprised.

You can get a sampler CD from the band, featuring four demos in it’s own unique, handmade packaging for a mere £1 from their BigCartel store.
