Xcellent effort

○○○○●

UP-AND-coming rock trio The Xcerts's debut album should mark the band's passage into the charts.
Because the band, although raw and rough around the edges, play some enjoyably raucous indie that comes across as a dishevelled collection of extracts of established acts like Idlewild and Snow Patrol.

The Scot rockers don't play anything particularly ground-breaking on In The Cold Wind We Smile - but that's nothing to frown about.
A trusted formula done well, The Xcerts are one well worth gleaning for your collection.
