Lions Roar: Kamikaze Valentines

Available now to download. 20% of all profits go to The Doves House Hospice.

Musical Style: Classic guitar-led indie rock with a retro feel.

Over The Moon: One glance at recently formed Hull band Kamikaze Valentines will tell you that have the look and the haircuts, but more importantly they have the sound too. Lion's Roar is a great little song that gets lodged in your head within a couple of listens, with definite touches of the Kinks and even Primal Scream at their rockiest. This song would probably be chart-fodder in its own right, but the footie theme is kept running by background chants of "England" throughout.

Sick As A Parrot: Lion's Roar rocks out a little too much for the terraces since there's never enough room to air-guitar comfortably in a full capacity crowd. As an England anthem this one is weak lyrically, conveying enthusiasm and pride more then telling the listener anything about England.

Terrace Appeal: 7/10
