Musically, there are bits of the Stone Roses, What’s the Story Morning Glory, and Nevermind. As catchy as those reference points are, it’s the songwriting that has won the band a fiercely dedicated following; a mix of the observational storytelling of Davies and Weller crossed with the harsher documentary eye of Mike Skinner of the Streets and “Ghost Town” era Specials. Domino. 2006.
