I quite enjoy them - anyone else?

    I saw these years ago supporting Idlewild at my local Student's Union bar.

    I loved Idlewild (obviously :p ) but all I really remember about them was the lead singers really wild hair...:o

    Sort of like a ginger afro? Cool, but a bit crazy :D

    Yep! :D

    It's funny.. you could lump them in with teen/emo, but their stuff is quite a bit more creative imo and they also seem to give a nod to proper, classic rock music.

    i love hundred reasons....seen them 11 times.....truly under rated....

    they tend to get misjudged because of the bands they tour with and screwy zine reviews.....but their music is fantastic....just came back with a new album which i urge y'all to listen to

    I like it. Not the best thing I've heard from them, but it's a great video.

    Im a fan - saw them last Jan, and thaught the Kill Your Own CD was best they had done. Was a good show and planning on going again this coming Jan. I have their new CD but havent really listened to it yet. Seen mixed reviews. How does it compare to the others?

    its great to see so many people into HR......i can never get enough of them...in my opinion they're are the best british band around at the moment - or at least the most under rated.... infact - apart from idlewild and the chili peppers i can't think of a better band period. - btw im aware i couldnt have said something more warranting of contrasting views and opinions, but i dont care.

    hundred reasons are amazing and i cant wait to see them again in january - for the 12th time....
