I like 'Never Be Lonely' and that Fill My Little World song - though I haven't heard much of their stuff to be honest. They remind me a bit of Supertramp.
There seems to be hundreds of new-ish bands at the moment with "The" in their names who sound similar and in my old age I get confused between them (The Kooks, The Automatic, The Zutons etc..).
The Automatic - now are they the ones with the guy shouting annoyingly in the background in that "Monster" song?
If so then, yes, whilst I would not normally advocate violence, someone needs to 'shut them up' as that has to be the most irritating song of the summer.
As for The Automatic I quite liked that Monster song when I first heard it. The 700th time it was played on the radio/TV however...
That song's irritation level is amazingly high.
And whilst we're talking about Murphy's Law-what is with that moustache?! Sometimes it does come across as well 'ard but most of the time he's in distinctly Village People territory.
