"I love it when I hear something that I know I'm gonna stick in my personal collection and play over and over.

The Fleas, according to the P.R, are a five-piece - and if you like it timeless and tuneful then you're in for a treat.

'Something or Nothing' is all acoustic guitars, plonky pianos, heartfelt sentiments, soft funky bass and sweetly harmonised vocals. Nice!

'Dreadful Blonde' is a little bit darker but despite those undertones still made me chuckle....flat mate's nightmare girlfriends being the subject - "I can't breathe with her around...she's always on my play-station...and she don't put things back where they're found"

This guy has a beautiful voice....plain and simple, fractured and fragile and framed so well in 'Downer' and 'Rain' with it's ever so slightly latinoesque rhythms.

There are some great tunes and plenty of interesting narratives to boot.

I was bit...bit by the fleas....

So if you fancy getting bit too...go check them out"
