The Neat, UK torchbearers for all things Post-Punk not only proudly wear their influences on their sleeve, but use them in writing some great tunes. and  With a jittery stage presence and sound to match, one can hear Gang of Four, Public Image Ltd. and even a welcome flashback to Art Brut before things went downhill. Don’t think so? Check out “Popular Music” on their Myspace player.

The Band is set to release their first single “In Youth is Pleasure” any time now on Chewing Gum Records which is run by members of the Kaiser Chiefs. With that sort of backing don’t be too surprised if these guys are the next UK band to make a splash across the Atlantic. that’s if they ever get over here to play a show!
