Out This Week

Rihanna has 'stormed' the charts with her 'Umbrella' this week and is 'reigning' at the top (sorry), but what else have the summer showers washed in this week...

Pigeon Detectives 'I'm Not Sorry' (Dance To The Music)
The Pigeon Detectives are yet another northern indie group of note (what do they put in the water up there?) and while it would be easy to namecheck the usual art-rock influences such as Gang Of Four and the like, new single 'I'm Not Sorry' boasts a warmth not always simpatico with angular rock. The melody is heartrending but positive, the lyrics defiant and bruised: "I'll never take you back!" shouts frontman Matt Bowman. He means it, you know. Woe betide the next lady to upset him. Although it might inspire another blinder like this, so go ahead: stand him up, turn him down, slip that Turbolax in his coffee. We're sure he would agree it'd worth it in the end.
