The Xcerts - Breathtaking Fight

Misleading titles can be a bitch. Remember the sense of betrayal when you first saw The NeverEnding Story? Well the inclusion of the word breathtaking in this debut single from Aberdeen exiles The Xcerts may not scale the same levels of deception as that flying dog, but it certainly won't have you reaching for your inhaler. Falling somewhere between Radio One's resident evil Snow Patrol and the more general evil known as Lostprophets, this is a watered down, routine effort; a shame considering the special effects which producer Ben Watkins (The Matrix soundtrack) must have at his disposal.
