So Hull gets tainted by many things, grey stone, burning abattoirs and a dying fish trade; however there has been some spunk of late; Hull’s exciting wild shirt clad hipsters have been seen all over the place and during the last two years they have supported Warpaint on a series of NME Award events, played festivals in Amsterdam, performed in front of a live televised audience in the vaults of BBC Maida Vale and featured on Rough Trade’s infamous Counter Culture CD. Furthermore their previous singles have both been single of the month inArtrocker an achievement which led to the band gaining a best new band nomination at the annual Artrocker Awards(2011) and their debut ‘In Youth is Pleasure,’ was the 2010 winner on Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6 roundtable single of the year. However that was then and this is now and the now is damn urgent thus The Neat are on the brink of releasing their 3rd official single ’New Kids’ via pop sex ltd a tune that will be spinning from 2nd July 2012 and will be available digitally and from all good independent record shops so in their own words,’It’s what the NEW KIDS do!’

“Latter day Fall jostling with the XX Teens; the drums pound along mercilessly, while the sinewy guitar sounds like it’s been exhumed from 1979 and the dry staccato vocals stab mantras through the flailing body.” Steve Lamacq (BBC6)
