Imagine a world without the shapely denim jean: our uber-cool rock gods could be shaking their snake-hips in a pair of unforgiving corduroys; piss stained puppet Flat Eric would have failed to breach social consciousness; and The View may never have written cracking new single 'Same Jeans'. Thriving with anthemic guitar and self-probing lyricism, it's a classically cut track that revisits the zestiest moments of The La's. Spurred on by the accented blitheness of frontman Kyle Falconer, the Dundonian quartet's quick fire infectiousness will have you digging deep in the pockets of your skinny fit Levis. [Billy Hamilton]
