Just heard Winner. Not too bad, in all honesty. Nothing amazing though. Just asking cos they were listed as a "Related Band" to the Twang on Spotify.
Is this band worth checking out further?

Not going to lie, I really like this:
Edit: Almost fully through with their full album (It Was This Or Football). Have to say, I really like it....

I like them, they need to get an album out though: It Was This Or The Football Part 2 was meant to be out last year saw them live and wanted to hate them but really enjoyed it, definitely worth checking out. Didn't know they had a new EP out so will need to give that a listen

Didn't know they had a new EP out so will need to give that a listen From what I read, the scrapped the 2nd half of the album and none made it to commercial sales. However, promos were issued, which is explains why I have the complete thing. There's glimpses of real potential of Football. The new EP is free - my guess is they're gearing up for a proper LP release (the new EP was released in Feb 2011 I believe)

I also love the fact that Noel gets a shout out (as "Noel G") in the song, Northern Quarters, linked above. Fucking brilliant.

I liked that too - its one of those little things that seem to improve my opinion on things (like in Forgetting Sarah Marshall).
Only really heard Northern Quarter, Our House is Dadless and Winner (of which the latter is my least favourite, being only average IMO). Worth progressing further? I'd usually go for it but it seems like quite the task to find their music

There isn't a huge amount of it! Listen to the 'It Was This Or The Football' EP, which has 5 or 6 tracks that are all pretty good

Listen to the 'It Was This Or The Football' EP, which has 5 or 6 tracks that are all pretty good There's a promo copy floating around the internets that has the "full" EP, (IE the never commercially released second half). It has 12 songs in total. There's also 4 from the new 2011 free EP (which I believe are demos), plus the song Winners, making 17 tracks in total from them I believe. There's glimpses of potential. Really do like Northern Quarter, though.

Yeah, the 4 are demos - which includes Northern Quarter - one of their best songs.
If they can somehow make that one catchier without losing focus and lyrics, itll be both a great song and a crowd pleaser, the kind which hasn't really hit the top of the charts since 'She Moves in her own way'

I really liked this band ever since I heard "Winner" on the 2010 FIFA World Cup videogame. Also check out their song, "Gorgeous." It's a pretty good love song. They also did a pretty cool remix of "Our House" IIRC
