For those of you who have the 80s in your hearts

Yes, I'm talking to you, 50_ft_queenie and other TO people who probably won't read this.

Check this band out:

The Modern

Saw them live on Friday night - it's like New Romantic never ended. In a good way. They are all very easy on the eyes.

Additionally, the female singer has more bleached hair than I do, which has me living in hope that I won't have to chop all mine off any time soon.

Jesus, but their website's irritating.

Sadly, I have a feeling that's what all websites would have looked like if the original New Romantic bands had had websites.

You see, that's why I ten to think they should have been banned from doing anything other than music. Including interviews, and especially haircuts. That is, of course, the ones that I'd even let do music rather than clean toilets.

So. The Modern. I take it you reckon it'd be worth chasing them up by other means?

Yes.
They have a single out in the big stores right now.

It's possible that they didn't do their own site since they are signed to a big label. (see my photos of the gig)

Well, I think so, but I'm a sad New Romantic at heart so I would. I even have a soft spot for the haircuts despite never being able to achieve one myself.

I do so love floppy New Romantic hair. From what I heard, the band sounds rather fab.

Yeah, I took a five second look at the website on my ancient wind-up internet connection and nearly threw my monitor out the window.

That said, on the recommendation of you and loads of others, I've decided to just do it the old-fashioned way and buy the single. ;)
