Blasting On Pop Boy's Stereo This Week

The Sunshine Underground - Put You In Your Place
The Sunshine Underground are ace. The drummer (Matt) is my step-dad's nephew (I think) and was his apprentice once or something (it's hazy, unexplained area), but nevertheless, this is a little bit of nepotism or something on my part. And they are from rock and roll capital of the world, Shropshire (home of them and me, the place where Pete Doherty was arrested, playing host to Alexis Strum on Tuesday!). Anyway, this song is indie-pop you can dance and flail your arms rhythmically to (and I am!) at it's best. The sound is familiar, but in a good way, they are on a par with the big players in indie music (possibly more specifically The Cribs, as Sunshine Underground are from the Leeds scene) . The melody is wonderful, and the chorus is magnificent. Visit them on myspace and listen to this track and 'Commercial Breakdown' then tell everyone you know about them and dance lots.
