Sounds Like: Here's what they say...(i've adapted the words to sound like they actually like my stuff. call it creative editing):
"[LECAIN] may sound more like California than London, but adds a refreshing twist to its over-played MTV counterparts 4/5 stars."
"Chic or not, this is East London indie of the finest quality. Slow brooding vocals over bluesy lofi indie. The music is a darker version of the Strokes and the vocals are not too far off Interpol. Can’t help but think these guys are influenced by the Kinks."
"Morrisey on Crack"
"The guitars clash and clatter in the background with art rock perfection, Lecain easily make a good dark pop song that’s full of nooks and crannies."
"It’s well worth checking out, particularly as they’re so hotly-tipped for 2007"
"Sub-Placebo lazy indie guitar rock."
"backed up by throbbing guitars...some may enjoy this style of admittedly unique vocal delivery"
"Sneering indie rock"
"hints of The Smiths in lead singer Gérard LeCain's voice and a rather Placebo-ish air to the guitars"
"Sounds like the Wonder Stuff’s Miles Hunt dragged kicking and screaming through a recent Alarm rehearsal "
"totalt jävla underbar låt"
"very impressed with this stuff"
"i am reminded of 'and you will know us by the trail of dead'"
"something creative and cool with a genre that has lost a lot of its flavor in recent years"
"LECAIN sound like Brian Jonestown Massacre boning Radiohead"...
"Interpol meets Thom Yorke in a back alley behind Alphabet City wrything in a mass of bodily fluids"....
"Strokes meets The Cure. EXCELLENT stuff. Not big payoff choruses- but it's an overseas greasy-vocalled fab act"
"a commercial alternative format act heading skyward"
"Lecain's whining, slurring voice is immensely irritating" :-)

Recent review about LECAIN:
"Gerard LeCain 'Nothing at all' (Demo). Mark my words given the current climate happening on the indie front don't be to surprised if in the coming weeks / months the name LeCain starts cropping up at increasingly regular intervals. Admittedly we've had this CD for a fair while - found beneath a pile of albums then carefully dusted down it then pretty much took up a hole mornings residence on the hi-fi. Now you might think - hell nothing strange or unusual about that.
LeCain as he prefers to be known is a young English born song writer who resides in Stockholm, Sweden and has to take a boat ride to visit friends - though why exactly he has to take a boat ride isn't fully explained perhaps he lives on an island or has a huge moat surrounding his apartment - one thing you can be sure of is that water is involved (why what else - be a bit daft paddling down the high street in rush hour).
Described by the man himself 'as pretty depressing really' the two cuts featured on this particular CD suggest an element of restless raggedness, an inner exposure to the world of blistered emotions accompanied by a detuned guitar. But then the storm brewing candour of the opening cut 'Nothing at all' is anything but depressing, instead it works an unnatural chemistry that combines a cutely honed tug and pull dulling intensity that numbs to the bone while being shot through with an almost death rattle like lo-fi punk blues, add to the mix the almost deadpan vocal delivery suggesting a rather more overburdened degree of disinterested weariness than melancholic moping and saddle to it a chorus hook so nakedly potent it's cut through with the precision of a chainsaw to the chest plate and you have a rather fetching though fucked off unlove song for the new beat generation of sorts. The stripped to the bone 'No chance of remorse' slows the momentum to a feint heart beat with the inherent fraught intensity finding it's surroundings unliveable and as a result seeping from the very grooves in an attempt to escape the overwhelming ache within.
Harrowing stuff."
