The skinny on the newest albums
The Pigeon Detectives' latest album Emergency is packed with upbeat rock and indie blends.
The Pigeons are sometimes criticised for failing to produce truly innovative music, but with an increasing number of talented bands emerging, it's a tough job.
But, citing The Clash and The Libertines as influences, the band delighted music fans with their very successful debut Wait For Me, setting a high bar for Emergency.
The sharp guitar riffs of Keep On Your Dress and I'm Not Gonna Take This contrast with the optimistic, bouncy sounds of Say It Like You Mean It.
The brisk melodies and moody, emotional lyrics in Don't You Want to Find Out and You Don't Need It combined with moody and emotional lyrics create a diverse and interesting album. Unfortunately, the title track is merely satisfactory.
