The joy that is myspace has turned me onto a lot of bands all over the
US, but even more so in the UK and the rest of the world. Myspace has
its downsides, sure, but I can't help but be thankful for it.
Last October, I got a request from The Underclass. And to be fair, I
listen to every song on a band's myspace when considering the add.
Some bands, it takes only 30 secs or so to know if I will absolutely
love them or not. I do get many requests that just aren't my cuppa.
However, I've been pretty fortunate in getting some real good ones.

extra credit goes to the bands who write a note with their request,
explaining how they found me or even just saying hello.

at any rate, I'm not sure why I revisited their page the other day.
Perhaps they were mentioned on a blog or website that is fed into my
google reader. (I've finally caught on to the joy of a feed reader.
and it's joyous!)

I'm really diggin' these tunes from the young Manchester boys, The
Underclass. truth is, I don't know their ages, I know they're much
younger than me!

I think they've only released the single in the UK, but I saw it on
emusic and downloaded it. however, there's a labeling issue with the
songs and you won't get exactly what the tracks say they are. It's
being sorted out now, but I'm not sure when it will happen.

here's their big single "Tomorrow is Now"

and then here's a video of them in the studio of a song called "Lost & Found"

I'm not sure what their complete story is, but I like what I'm hearing
and I can't wait to hear more!!
