'Lying at the Side of You' is the return single, arguably the debut in their current form. It's a huge rock track with a massive pop hook, an erratically excitable racket of garrulous guitars and brusque vocals which fearlessly crowd each other while keeping respectable distance from the tracks anxious melody. Now performing with a full band behind them, and with guest appearances on the forthcoming album from gospel choirs, legendary session musicians and Mercury Prize nominees, The Wallbirds are a sign of what's to come from great British music. One of the most ingenious, creative and exciting new bands about to break.
