Produced by Teenage Fanclub legend Norman Blake, `Things That Roar` has been compared to The Beach Boys, The Stone Roses and The Zombies by magazines like NME and Q, but really there`s no-one else like them. It`s like the Beach Boys at their height transporting to the future and working with The Flaming Lips. "There are a number of reasons for loving this record. One is its innate eager and open tunefulness, another is its powerfully uplifting, entirely groovy pop psych vibes and one more is the shoehorned-in phased guitar squiggles which bubble up and shoot through the canopy of the chorus with what can only be described as gay abandon. Oh, and I forgot to mention the bit near the end where about 300 voices join together to push the already fairly well-worn button marked good times` so hard it jams and you feel like, "Well, maybe I`ll have to live inside this record for ever". That`s how good it is."-The Guardian. "they more than live up to the potential and hype. With tunes that evoke the 1960s` West Coast sound they travel through the mantra-vocalled Biting Glass to the handclapping down-home stomp of Such A Bloody Pain via the feel-good kaleidoscopic pop of Tell Your Friends."-ManchesterEveningNews.
