Free Music Review: Finally . . . a good British band with a terrible name
Hit: 4 Stars

Okay, with a name like The Rumble Strips I was thinking these guys were a po dunk local band that have a cousin who's a recording exec.
But outside of their silly name, these Brits are, in fact, far from a joke. They have great energy, and probably the most unique arrangement of songs I've ever hear from a Brit-pop band since the Beatles. They remind me of The Matches vocally, and the song writing bats near The Yellow Submarine-era Beatles.
Their intrumentation may come across as hokey the first listen, but all the songs (save Motorcycle, which is as close to a dud as the Strips come) have polished melodies and soul, and show little wear, even after many listens. Very, very close to 5 stars, but that stupid Motorcycle song is a thorn in their flesh.

They also have a song on Run, Fat Boy, Run. Which is a good movie, though not Pegg's best showing.

Girls and Weather Poster

2007 debut album from the hotly-tipped Britpopsters. The Rumble Strips have recorded a truly classic British album from somewhat eccentric origins in Devon, the four young men from Tavistock have fashioned a set of songs steeped with huge, life-affirming choruses all awash with the optimism of youth. Includes the single `Girls And Boys IN Love, which has been snapped up as the lead track from the forthcoming Simon Pegg Film Run Fat Boy Run. 12 tracks. UMTV.
2007 Debut Full Length Album from the Devonshire Four Piece Brings their Unique Blend of Brass-led Ska, Soul and Indie Into the Mainstream. "Girls and Weather" was Recorded Over an Intensive Two Week Period in Los Angeles and Produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Belle and Sebastian) and Draws Influences from the Likes of Dexy's Midnight Runners and the Mystery Jets to Create a Unique, Eccentric Feel-good Record. Includes the Singles "Motorcycle," "Girls and Boys in Love," and "Alarm Clock." Q Magazine Proclaims them "the Band Most Likely to Do a Kooks/Fratellis in 2007 by Becoming the Good-time-indie-rock Outfit Most People Prefer to Get Drunk and Act Lairy To."
