"This is a Britpop super group that includes members of British Sea Power, Electric Soft Parade, and Tenderfoot. You figure that Peter Doherty is in a few bands, so what not others? So this album is a curiosity. It is a combination of punk and alt-country. They recorded it in five days. This album is a legend. "The Most Fun" is a hilarious song. In the song "Heard About Your Band" there is stuff about Karen O and Sleater-Kinney. Many of these songs are short. There is a cover version of "Jackson" by Nancy Sinatra. One of the best songs is "You're So Pretty" which encapsulates a lot of college radio music. This is an excellent album. If it is a real band, I don't know.
