Their name is derived from a song (or actually two) by Nick Drake, but they extend beyond simply folk; you'll also find country-tinged rock with some stomping powerpop thrown in for good measure. They have a fine ear for strong melodies, and a musician friend of mine reckons they are THE best harmony band around, bar none.
'Hotel Radio' is their first full studio album, a follow-up to their debut mini-album 'The Hazey Janes' (also well worth a listen - 'After All' is a great track, and a live favourite). Lovely jangly guitars open the album at the start of 'Always There', indicating some Byrdsian influences. The country feel comes through on 'Moanin' Face' and there's something Beatlesque about 'Get Down'. It's fairly difficult for me to choose a favourite track, but I'd have to go for 'Your Enemy' - an absolutely stunning powerpop gem. (And it sounds simply amazing played live - it overflows with energy and confidence).
