Larsen B Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Anyone like them at all? The New Romance is an awesome album and is criminally overlooked. They're also named after a good song. Haven't heard their debut. Anyone know if it's worth getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Certainly worth getting I'd say - they're a good band, perhaps a touch overrated but good listening indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 I downloaded two songs last night:"All Medicated Geniuses"and"Speakers Push The Air"Both good songs but the first one is better in my view.http://www.epitonic.com/artists/prettygirlsmakegraves.htmldownload from there:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikola Tesla Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Great band. The new romance is a class album... I don't understand why you think they're over rated Psydoll, i havent heard too many people go on about them, but everyone to their own i suppose.

I guess it depends who you know or what you read or see but I just don't see them as being as great as I keep hearing they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Not seen much about them in the NME i have to say....Although maybe i`m wrong..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott cs. Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 i got a lend of The New Romace from a friend and its bloody good. never realised their first couple of releases were on Lookout! Records till yesterday. missed them at Leeds which was disappointing. the vocalist is also rather easy on the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkster Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Very good band indeed.Caught them at Leeds and was very happy with what I saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Not seen much about them in the NME i have to say....Although maybe i`m wrong.....about two issues ago they reviewed the re-released debut album and it got 9/10. It also appeared in the best 4 albums of the moment feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you guys big Smiths fans? P: DF: It's not really ... one day try and name a band ... it's a very difficult thing ... It's just as likely to be named after Jack Kerouac's Dharma Bums, the name sounded good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has that actually got anything to do with them or are you just saying the could easily have named themselves after something else. Coincidentally I'm reading Visions of Cody at the moment.
