Nyer nyer nyer-nyer nyer: we've heard the new album by The Long Blondes and you probably haven't. It's not even out for another month and we're looking at it on our desk right now. But we're benevolent dictators, so we're going to throw you some scraps.
Someone To Drive You Home, the new album by The Long Blondes, is a jaw-dropping listen, but one of the stand-out tracks is the opener, Once And Never Again. While the album manages to reference every single cool band ever to have come out Sheffield, Once And Never Again is more of a crowd-pleasing Libertines-y singalong that will perk you up nicely for your dreary afternoon of report-filling and human resources meetings. And we've got the pleasingly artschool-ish Long Blondes Once And Never Again video for you too – just so you can see how cool, pretty and glamorous The Long Blondes are compared to you. But that's not all – we've got a bunch of Long Blondes free stuff for you, so we'll hand over to our good friend, the cut and paste Long Blondes press release:
