The new Stellastarr album Harmonies For The Haunted. Released only in the US at the moment, but there is one track, No.7 On My Own that gives me that feeling like I had when I first heard Run by Snow Patrol.. Not quite as good, but not far off... Go download that track anyway .... First saw this band some 18 months ago in a small venue in Bristol with the then unknown band The Killers supporting.. There must only have been about 120 people in the pub !!

BTW: If my memory is correct, the actual label that put this out is "Warner Strategic Marketing". Name says it all...

But you are right they should has re-issued Songs and put the A side singles from the grey album. I guess that would rrequire planning, organization and more money, so they just tossed any old thing out there.
