Sounds Like: "On paper, the four spritely members of Manchester-based Airship tick all the boxes required to join the ever-increasing horde of tiresome indie-popettes.

In one guise or another, they've been doing this for years and it shows through a well-crafted repertoire packed with complex chord progresssions, vocal harmonies and addictive hooks."."
