I don't know what it is about Scots, but they make some very catchy, anthemic music. We Were Promised Jetpacks' forthcoming album on FatCat, These Four Walls, follows in the footsteps of fellow Glaswegians, Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad - great pop songs with emotionally intense overtones. Also, these guys look a lil' dorkie, and a lil' young, two facts I totally love. In fact I think they won a battle of the band competition back in 2003 when they were still in High School, which makes them totally young indeed and me really REALLY old. The album is great from start to finish. Check it out on it's release date, 7/7/09. -SK
