Irish radio programmers and DJs, rejoice: you will soon be able to replace This Club's magnificently spun earwormI Won't Worry with something equally fetching from their debut album. There's a hard- earned knack to writing infectious, colourful, robust pop tunes that sound right in many different environments, and it's a talent the Dublin band (formerly known as Hoarsebox for reasons best known to themselves) have perfected in recent times. Tracks such as Up, Add It Up and This Club (they're a band who can can get away with breezy, bright, self- titled tunes and copious use of the word "up") possess a pop sheen and melodic punch that is always in demand, as shown of late by the likes of Foster the People. A band and an album for indie-pop fans who want happy-go-lucky, cheerful tunes guaranteed to draw out a smile. thisclubmusic.com
