In their native Britain, they're pop stars whose albums debut in the Top 10. But in North America, this septet could be the best band most people have never heard. The problem? In a nutshell, they're too smart for the room. With all the plummy tones and sophisticated wit of a British miniseries, the South's three vocalists deliver deliciously cynical, cleverly literate lyrics of lovers, losers and lagers while the band weaves sweet 'n' rootsy Squeeze-pop melodies that beautifully balance the tart-tongued tales. Whether the subject is cheating men ("Don't ever feel sorry for the dicks, just grab the dice and hope you roll a six") or devoted spouses ("I'll love you my dear 'til you can't tuck it in anymore"), these are songs for those who understand that sometimes you have to laugh just to keep from crying.
