Snow Patrol
Spitting Games
Spitting games is a near-perfect indie single, complete with a 100% whistle-able “doo-doo” hook. They’re a little bit Feeder, a little bit Belle & Sebastian (but much more fun). It’s kind of reminiscent of the heady brit-pop heyday when you’d wake up to ‘Wake Up Boo’ on Chris Evan’s breakfast show, and hell, maybe even want to get out of bed. Snow Patrol are doing a good breaking-in run of all your favourite dingy indie venues now, so catch ‘em while they’re cheap. If Spitting games is anything to go by it’ll be the sort of ticket you can show off whilst they’re doing… well, at least slightly larger venues…
