London Grammar

Their version of Nightcall is sublime.

What kind of music izzit

Electronic pop

Can't be worse than Slough Grammar. When I first went there, one of the fifth formers was a bloke called Webb, who turned out to be Gary Numan.

Finger on the pulse here!

Turn it up to 11+

awesome album, should have won the mercury that year imo

Agreed

that lead singer Hannah is stunning

Nice tunes .. still prefer the original Massive Attack though

You mean LG's song Strong - that was covered by Massive  Attack ?

was it really , this is London grammars Debut album 2013 right

when did that happen Facts?

Just listening to some Massive attack & sorry you will never even come close , they ripped these kids off really , if they did it was nothing but respect , but really I'm curious !!

I'm sure those saying they should've won the Mercury prize that they weren't even shortlisted for are familiar with all of those albums that were...

MA are too artificial, rely too much on instruments  and vocals being distorted electronically. Just my opinion.

Take it that's a 'no' then.

Believe there was some guy called David Bowie if that helps you.

I listened last night after reading this and it was good, I liked the performance on Letterman, they are a bit too clean for me tho tbh.

I'd love to see this Massive Attack cover

Not really. I DID familiarise myself with the shortlist so I've only myself to blame for this...

BoC would've been a better option than, say, the Arctic Monkeys rather boring latest offering.

I'm rooting for Savages.

BoC is Boards of Canada btw. Both they and London Grammar should've been on before the boring dee-dahs!

I was wrong re MA cover. It was a video on YT that was someone else mixing two songs. Sorry For the confusion

Have you got any more contemporary bands worth listening to Facts? I'm way out of the loop here.

If you haven't already give Massive Attack a couple of hours and a proper listen, they are an outstanding band.

Try the xx, Brother M, if you haven't already.

Yep have listened to them a lot.like them , but still think as per my earlier post.

Thanks Mikael, I'll give them a listen later.

No No No...boc-BLUE OYSTER CULT pal!!

That's BOC, sk  - this is BoC!

Saw them during the Glastonbury coverage. Very nice, her voice not unlike Florence Welch imo.

However, to mention them in the same breath as Massive Attack is like thinking Noddy Holder could have been an understudy at the Scala when Pavarotti fancied a night off.

Not London Grammar's fault some of their fans get a bit carried away though, eh.
