Scouting For Girls

Last Saturday I took the advice of Cerian (who is swiftly becoming one of my favourite musical genii) and went to see Scouting For Girls in Nottingham. The live show was so good I am now in the process of attempting to book the band. In fact, I liked them so much I even bought a t-shirt (despite being male and therefore already owning over a million t-shirts)!

I guess it would probably be quite easy for the average indie-scenster to dismiss Scouting For Girls as a forgettable or novelty band. But to do that you would be letting them down, you would be letting me down and most of all you would be letting yourself down...

Here is a band that craft pop songs that are so deeply catchy, they will have you humming along in a matter of moments. The music is light hearted, well written and fun. It’s not trying to be groundbreakingly new or ‘the next big thing’. It’s just immensely enjoyable.

Live, Scouting For Girls give the kind of tight performances only achieved by a band that have been playing together for years. There's guaranteed to be masses of energy and people grinning and dancing continuously from the start of the set. And that goes for the band too, who’s lack of pretension is welcomed and reciprocated.

Roy, Greg and Pete are (lovely) normal guys ready to take on the world and make them smile. With the popular media jumping on their bandwagon (they’re currently on the playlists of many top radio stations, including Radio 1 and 2) you can count on hearing more from this troop in the not so distant future.
