Fast Romantics

Halfway through every year, I always look forward to Will Oliver’s list of the best songs of the year (so far) at We All Want Someone To Shout For.

While this seems like merely a cute, simple way of pointing out that the band has three members, it is actually a completely definitive representation of the trio.
