In my Caught in the Net music column tomorrow I mention Edinburgh band We Were Promised Jetpacks.

It's a ropy name, but the band make up for it with some decent tunes. The young quartet (average age: 21), aren’t exactly reinventing the wheel with another take on the dominant sound of UK indie this decade – driving post-punk guitar rock – but their debut album is a good start nonetheless. In particular, the voice of lead singer Adam Thompson nicely undercuts the band’s more anthemic tendencies and there are some nice spikey guitar lines too.

The record, ‘These Four Walls’, comes out in June and in advance of this we are offering two songs, an album track and a b-side, as free downloads. Here they are...
