The band, not the Nicole Kidman film

There's a relatively new band that emerged last year called The Others. They seem to have a real buzz about them at the moment, great live reviews, lots of press and an album out this week. They have become known for the art of guerilla gigging - playing impromptu sets in unlikely and inappropriate places. Shops, lifts, the back of a Volkswagen, those kind of places. In a lot of ways they are reminding me of The Libertines when they first emerged, before they fell apart for the eighth time.

So I feel somewhat like a small boy pointing his finger at a naked old emperor when I say: Is it just me, or are The Others a bit... rubbish?
