No, Cuts Like YOUNG Knives

Published by Drewl February 16th, 2006 in music.

One of the stand outs in my current rotation of songs is the Decision by the Young Knives, a band out of Oxford, England. The song comes from an EP the trio put out in November. At first listen it reminded me of the Darkness, but whereas the Darkness clearly love 70s rawk, the Young Knives are much more enamored by rock from the 60s. BothLe Déjeuner Sur L'Herbe tracks listed below bring to mind a team of Monty Python-like knights galloping through wooded hillocks. There might actually be a wizard in the band. Sorry, I don’t really know what that means. It probably has something to do with the falsetto and the chorus line “the horses in the new forest/are running in their Sunday best”. But my favorite part of the song is at the end, when the protaganist interrupts his own “Bap-ba! Bap-bap badadada” to shout “Good news!” Good stuff.

According to their website, they have a new album coming out soon. Until then you can pre-order the single Here Comes the Rumour Mill from eil.com or you could buy these.

    The EP is available now from iTunes (maybe only in the UK). There are 3 different versions: same single, but 3 different B-sides.

    You can also now catch the video for Here Comes the Rumour Mill.
