Toronto - I am a sucker for the words “Indie Pop” and “UK”. Despite countless disappointments, I always will myself to give bands with those tags a chance. This leads me to the UK trio Scouting For Girls. Apparently popular across the pond, the London based band released a self titled album earlier this year courtesy of Epic.
Hows the cd? it sounds like the Kooks. If you have read my Kooks review, you know I am not a big fan of it. I mean, this album, the Kooks, Cajun Dance Party, etc, they aren’t horrible albums. I can easily put on one of them in the background and won’t get offended or anything, but really, they bring nothing in the table. Bands like these are a dime a dozen. Scouting For Girls is full of somewhat catchy light hearted guitar rock/pop including singles like ‘Heartbeat’, ‘She’s so Lovely’ and ‘Elvis ain’t Dead’.
This is the type of music you will probably hear on a show like The Hills, during a montage or something. It’s easily digestible, there’s no texture and you’ll probably shit it out in an hour.
