UK band Gloria Cycles have released a three track EP called Relgious which serves as a teaser for their new album Campsite Discotheque. It's a bit risky to call them Britpop, their singer is a Scot, who looks like he missed out on being a roaring twenties sportsman.
The title track of the EP is used in the motion picture My Last 5 Girlfriends, but it thankfully far too good (and uptempo) to be considered as a sappy chick flic track. Chewed Up is angry love song of sorts and Wonderbus will fit in nicely among a collection of early Kinks and Who singles (think Blur in their Modern Life Is Rubbish phase).
