Velodrone

○○○○●

HAILING from London, and not India, Bombay Bicycle Club are a wheely good band.
Their debut album I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose, whose name is taken from an A Tribe Called Quest lyric, is a promising collection of jangly indie rock tracks which could easily see them following similarly sounding act The Maccabees into the mainstream.
The only thing that's missing here is the standout single to firmly establish the group.
Instead the album is a solid, steady ride - the sound of an act that's slowly but surely moving up through the gears.
