Late Of The Pier (depeche mode, electronic, punk, debut album, depeche mode)

Stumbled across this band entirely by accident, and surprisingly, I actually quite like what I've heard. Band from Nottingham playing a very strange hybrid of synth-pop/pointed electronica and Britpop.

Anyway whaddy'all think? Song I heard was "Focker".

Really cool band. I heard dribblets about them, was belatedly watching NME TV round a friends and heard 'Space and the Woods'. Great. They seem to cover the whole Gary Numan/early Depeche Mode/ Human League thing really well. Video ain't too shabby either.

Fortunately they seem to have missed the whole fly-by-night 'Nu-Rave' catch. How ****e was that? They certainly support the whole 'music continuum' theory, where musical trends are always moving in circles; first the 'post-punk revival' (an oxymoron methinks) and now it's going all synth-pop on us. Best brace for that inevitably flaccid debut album!

Isn't that synth-line basically 'Cars'?
