Random "Discovery" of the Day: Kind of Like if Interpol were from Scotland, and Occasionally Forgot They Were Interpol

Well, they don't sound that much like Interpol. They're called We Were Promised Jetpacks, and they're from Glasgow, or Edinburgh, or Aberdeen, or something.

This isn't exactly the better of the two tracks I've heard from this band today, but I couldn't get my hands on the other to post. That one is called "Quiet Little Voices," sounds even less like Interpol (but way more Scottish), and you can hear it on their MySp*c* page if you like: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=35958049

This one's called "Moving Clocks Run Slow." All Scottish bands sound like this these days. Guitar driven post-punk sounding stuff with some "heartfelt" vocals. You'd think everyone up there was a depressed grumbler. With Blackpool but a hop, skip and a jump away in the land of the Angles, you'd think everyone would be overjoyed.

Track 7 on the player.
