Product Description

From the Label

It's been a phenomenal year for Cowbridge's teenage four piece, The Automatic. Having wowed fans with a series of riotous gigs (including tours with Hard-Fi and The Ordinary Boys), they've emerged as one of the most exciting live acts around. Recently completing the NME tour, the general feeling is that they’ve come out on top of the 4 band bill! The band's current single "Monster" is rapidly turning into an anthem and is another example of the band's raucous disco-punk, boasting a chorus that's destines to be sung everywhere from playgrounds to football terraces.


CD Description

'Not Accepted Anywhere' is the debut album from Welsh four-piece The Automatic. Produced by Richard Jackson (Super Furry Animals, 60ft Dolls) and Steve Harris (Kaiser Chiefs, U2),the album is a mix of blistering indie-pop in the vein of The Futureheads, Maximo Park and Young Knives. The singles 'Raoul', 'Monster' and 'Recover' are included.

4.0 out of 5 stars What's that coming over the hill? , 13 Jun 2006
By C. Jamieson "craigjamieson88_" (Haverhill, Suffolk, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having seen them support the kooks way back in January, the automatic stuck out straight away as a band to keep an eye out for. Their setlist had some real standout tracks, ones that have managed to reach out to both radio DJs and listeners alike.

The odds are you've probably heard monster here and there. It's hard to miss it. There's no denying it, it's probably the best song here. It was when I first heard it and still probably is. But the band are more than that. The opener, "that's what she said" gives a brief account to the bands' sound, but isn't much of a standout track. "Raoul" follows. A song about going to the sandwich shop has never sounded so great. An obvious choice for an earlier single.

"You shout you shout you shout" is definitely a foot stomper, you won't be able to help yourself, and is full of techno-sounds and shouts. "Recover" and "Monster" follow soon, and again, the choice as singles seems obvious upon listen.

Two tracks later and you have "keep your eyes peeled". This is their opener at gigs, and you can see why. It's catchy, dance-y feeling it has to it is full of energy.

The only worry I do have though is that some of the other songs "blend" a bit. They sound a bit the same and it's hard to tell the difference between some. Nonetheless, the band are something new, and the album is definitely worth buying. Just don't go in with any expectations. It's the best way.

Also, do go to see them live. It's an incredible experience and Pennie, the keyboardist, is worth the money alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing debut album, 4 Jun 2006
From start to finish this is one of the best debut albums released this year. Highlights of the album being, apart from the singles, Keep Your Eyes Peeled and By My Side. The energy and youth of the cowbridge 4 piece is reflected in the songs, each of which is brimming with style from start to finish. There is not a weak song on this album and I would highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cookie-cutter song writing..., 17 Sep 2006
By Mr. A. J. Hopper (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was hooked on this band from the moment I heard their single 'Raoul'. Couldn't wait for their album to come out so I could see what else they had to offer. Then 'Monster' was released, and I was beginning to think these guys could be something very special.
Unfortunately, my hopes seem to have been dashed. EVERY song on this album sounds the same bar the last two; 'By My Side', and 'Rats' which I think are solid pieces in their own right.
Honestly, every song has the same rhythmn, the same chords, and the lead singer only seems to have a binary note range. It's like all they've done is changed the words.

I've noticed a lot of reviewers on this site seem to get annoyed with the emo-esque keyboardist, Penny. I am with them, I too think he's very irritating, however I think his screaming is necessary on this album purely to inject some energy into the lead singer's lack-lustre droning.

I've given the album 2 stars because I do still really like the aforementioned tracks, however I expect more variety for my money, something this SEVERELY lacks.
