We’re already written posts on Empire Of The Sun and La Roux, but someone that the BBC Introducing / Ips of 2009 didnt pick up on are the Little Comets who based on ‘One Night In October’ have been criminally overlooked. Combining lyrical intelligence and wit not heard from an English band since Pulp, and at times a sound akin to the much loved Vampire Weekend, these boys from the North East of England are destined to surely be one of THE bands of the year.

Little Comets – One Night In October from Lucky Number Music on Vimeo.

They say, using inopportune moments and a musical alphabet as deep as the sea, little comets are currently traversing a sextet of cities with nothing but shine in the apples of their eyes.

See what we mean, lyrical witt, a love of the modern English language and an all round sense of fun.
