DEARS

[Yo]

the dears copying to the smiths??

The main voice sounds toooo similar at morrissey.... is it just a coincidence?

what you think?

I take it you haven't heard their CD then? A couple of tracks do sound like Moz/Smiths but the rest really doesn't. Saw them live on Tuesday - were not bad but they lack stage any sort of stage presence.

Saw them myself and thought they were excellent. The singer Murray Lightburn is a huge Smiths fan (he cried "like a little f***ing child" when he met Moz last year)and the record is hugely and unashamedly indebted to both Morrissey and Marr.

I think he does a really good Damon Albarn impersonation

i'm sorry but you're wrong ,i saw them perform at the ica in november and i can honestly say that i thought they were the most exciting band i saw all year.
