    It's rock and it's raw and it's very very Scottish. From a similar kind of place as the Libertines musically but they're a bit more rocky. They broke onto the scene when people were looking for another Arctic Monkeys. Superstar Tradesman, Wasted Little DJ's and Face for the Radio are the standout tracks. There's plenty to like on it but there is alot of standard average Indie rock on it.It's rock and it's raw and it's very very Scottish.

    A cannily considered, thoroughly de nos jours mix of punk, skiffle and music hall-bred power pop which fizzes with energy and affects a brash charm, but adds little to Barat’s and Doherty’s original blueprint.

    There's enough talent here to suggest that the hype around The View at the moment is thoroughly justified - hats off to them indeed.
