[Trainwreck]

The Rakes formed at the start of the 2000s, apparently taking their name from the fact that they were "skinny as rakes". Since coming to relative fame in 2005, they have been associated with the British post-punk/art-rock scene, a genre that lumps bands like Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Maximo Park, and The Futureheads in one convenient cluster.

just got around to listening to this now...definitely has that heavy Franz sound, but i do like it. the phrasing is very derivative, but that doesn't negate the fact that this is a catchy song.
