Joy Division Love Will Tear Us Apart(Warners)
These guys sounds like a less polished version of Editors. If Edith Bowman gets behind them and puts them on the Radio One A-list then I can see this doing something, but otherwise, bands like this just aren't going to get enough hits on their MySpace to warrant getting anywhere near Jo Whiley's show - and that's key if you want to shift units. Just ask Hard-Fi.

I saw this on Saturday too and, at first, did a bit of a double take. Then I realised- Humour! 
Funny Guy!

Gotta be surely, clive?
At first I was thinking that he was a snotty nosed upstart journo. Then I realised he WAS a snotty nosed upstart journo trying to put the cat amongst the pigeons. Maybe he wrote it for a wind up knowing about the na-na culture on here...
He's gotta know about JD. Surely?
Anyone know if it did make the Radio 1 play list?
I think the idea beyond taking the piss is that a lot of bands that have a JD influence sound way too 'perfect' in their product and playing, making for static slabs of cheap doom and gloom. 'A lot less polished' here=authenticity and liveliness.
Has anyone gone out and bought it? Er again.
Bit strange putting the "radio" version and Atmosphere on the cd. Would have preferred These Days.
Taking the piss?! Then it's funny
Not taking the piss?! Sack the fooker
Can't someone ring them up,he needs a word:\ohwell:
