The Corrections: 'Barcode'

Bloc Party are reborn! Well, sort of. And this incarnation is nowhere near as exciting as the original. With a spunky, crashed-out drum beat coupled with biting guitar sounds and the prerequisite energetic Angry Young Man vocals, 'Barcode' from The Corrections ticks all the usual indie pop boxes.

None too innovative, astutely following the Indie By Numbers Formula - but HEY, it's a formula that seems to have worked for many a drainpipe-clad lad - if The Corrections want a place in the charts this summer this is probably the quickest and simplest way of getting there.

Released on 7th April 2008 by EMI.
