One of my favorite bands ever. I can pile superlatives on top of each other but what's the point? Lyrics like "I went back to start a band of course" and "When one townie falls in the forest, does anyone notice?" They weren't great live, but it was a terrible venue and crowd. I think seeing them in about 2008 in a dive would have been one of the great shows of my time.

THS paints a picture of a bleak bunch of teenagers growing up too fast and doing a lot of drugs and not liking it. That's either what my childhood was, or what I wanted it to be; never decided.

Alvvays did an album which I would put in my top five if I actually made a list, which I'm not.

As far as I'm concerned Alvvays had the song of the year in Archie, Marry Me.
