Sounds Like: Accomplished debut single from this seaside foursome (members are from Brighton and Southend). Co-produced by Jim Bob (Carter USM fame) and released on his own label too.
Splashings of Bloc Party and The Futureheads though singer Gary Yay sings with a Morrissey twang. B-side 'Tenderly Talking' is by far the most superior song and shows promise of more to come.

Shit band that have happened to have read a history book.

Ready for the next big thing? Cable Street Spy Club open up their 3 track debut single ‘Listen To Me Carefully I Shall Say This Only Once’ with ‘Spies Spies Everywhere’, sounding like ‘Lovesong’ by The Cure but twice as fast. Later still the excellent B-Sides make it clear these Brits are capable of keeping up with the hottest bands of the hour with ease.
These guys have every chance to hit the big time with their first big push in their home country with the backing of producer/label boss Jim Bob (formerly of Carter USM).

Cable Street Spy Club followed playing their clever nu-gaze, emo, indie-pop tracks and none better than 'Spies Spies Everywhere' which has more catchy hooks in it than a catchy hook convention.
With an obsession for conspiracy and 'spooks' the only undercover mission this four piece could perform would be getting drunk and playing great gigs, which is lucky as that's exactly what they did at FarmFest. 'Tenderly Talking' flowed around the appreciative crowd mixing Panic@ the Discos' emo (which seems to be popular with the kids) sound with a distinctly British slant which makes their songs pretty damn ace and memorable.
Like the Killers sped up and easier to dance to and without annoying facial hair CSSC banged through the 45 minute set.
