About Me

NOS GUSTA EL ROMANTICISMO, LA POESÍA Y LAS OBRAS DEL SIGLO XIX.
They are not in any way obsessed with the Mystery Jets, they just think that without them life would be meaningless.
Convinced that they were born in 1790 and spent their life surrounded by the likes of Blake, Coleridge, Shelley(ies), Keats, Wordsworth and Byron, two girls stumbled out of an English lesson one day completely changed forever.
With the help of the oh so hip Gerald and an introduction to sublimity by the lovely Lauren they realised that 'poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world' and decided that they would make it their mission to bring them back to life. However, as Victor Frankenstein is currently engaged abroad, they decided that they would have to become poets themselves.
'A thing of beauty is a joy forever' and a thing of beauty they would create. However as they can't sing and consider themselves musically retarded, the songs may take a little while to come. But the lyrics are damn good.
P.S. They're not on drugs, just slightly illusive.
P.P.S. They thought of their name before The Horrors came along. It was a sunny summer's day when they were playing rounders. So they didn't copy them. But they still like them. A lot.
P.P.P.P.S They would say more about themselves, but that would sound like boasting. Because they're just bloody awesome.
Perhaps only in their lust-driven pink bin-lid-fuelled fantasies.

Sounds Like: Warped Romanticism translated into modern life with a bit of fantasy thrown in for good measure.

Basically what indie would have sounded like in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century if Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron had come across a guitar and pile of saucepans instead of writing about ghosts (at that dinner party).

Or, in the words of the Xfm Breakfast Show with Alex Zane, 'like the YMCA'. And 'frightening'.
We also apologise for saying the word retarded on air.

This is what we aspire to be like...

This song has rather quirky lyrics, along with frequent references to literature, as well as the repetition of Shock Horror which is as close to Hock Shorror as you can ever get. It's fucking bri...
