The Voyeurs

First the Kaiser Chiefs resurrected Brit pop and The Cribs tore rock a new arsehole - now we see the 'seedier' side to the vibrant Leeds scene - introducing The Voyeurs. If I'm Right is a track utterly befitting their name - darkly-charming pop that sounds like New Order after a sleaze-rock makeover!
