Cracking feckin band.

I've got Some Cities & Lost Souls. Do they have any other albums??
 
Some Cities is superb. Black and White town is a quality song, one of the best I've heard in the last couple of years.
 
Took me ages to get into them, a mate was always banging on about them. Black & White Town is a fantastic tune indeed.

I've just put Some Cities on now on me headphones. :)

Spread the word- everybody put it on at 2pm sharp and we'll try to get them heard in Kansas.


Or not.

Ah, only album I have, thought it was their first.

Never assume things like that. Can be dangerous...

Did you also know that The Doves used to be the dance act sub sub who had a number one hit "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)"?
 
I thought maybe this was some nice written post about the cliff of dover, but no no this is a band you say.

I was looking forward some education on the geography of The Great Britain(as you call it)
+Hey, on a related note what is so great about Britain? The fact that you were able to sail to other countries that were willing to say 'yes you can have our land' or what.......
 
On second thought, shite band. One decent but pedestrian record. Shite band.
 
Well, just backfrom their gig in dublin tonight. Easily is the top 5 bands I have ever seen live. Genuinely impressive, waited 6 years for the gig tonight and they didnt disappoint. Awe inspriing at times, A must see. bit slanty
 
not possible to be a good indie band?

to be honest they had 1 good album, Lost Souls - the rest is average.

Its just in this day and age, there is a new one out every week, and fair play, they can play their instruments but its just so tedious, and they're always called "the..." something, it really burns my ears to hear any of them now, i feel like I'm living in an episode of hollyoaks!

i get ya mate - if it makes you feel any better they are actually just called 'Doves' - the OP got the name wrong!
and they have been around for a while now - i think 10 years since their debut album- not like the rest of these generic 'indie by numbers' bands that appear every week !
 
It's only 4mins long :confused:

When Doves are good, they're excellent. But when they're bad, they're pathetically average.

Speaks to the pathetic averageness then doesn't it. They go the slow build route most times. But if the chorus and especially the bridge which takes for fecking ever to wait on don't deliver, pisses you right off. They're masters of it at this point. Pissing me off with their drawn out pedestrian songs.
 
Quality band.

Under rated?

A bit sad to know they are City fans as well.Thought they were United supporters.

I honestly do not get the fuss that people have over the team a band supports/a member's personality. If you like their music, then who honestly gives a flying feck :wenger:?! It's ridiculous.
 
Liking the Doves love.

One of my favourite bands since I first heard Lost Souls. All their albums are well worth checking out. They are touring at the moment, fantastic live band. Go see them if you can.
