Not Accepted Anywhere - The Automatic

The Automatic are a four piece band hailing from Cardiff in Wales. Forming in 2002, the band have come a long way in the past five years and enjoyed a large degree of success in 2006 when they released their début album 'Not Accepted Anywhere'. It was hard to miss this young Cardiff based band last summer; everywhere you went their infectious 'Monster' single seemed to be playing, and therefore you were made to listen to The Automatic regardless of whether you liked them or not.

Not Accepted Anywhere is the debut album from Welsh four-piece The Automatic. Prior to their album they released three singles, all included on the album: Recover, Raoul and Monster.

The debut album by welsh outfit The Automatic, Not Accepted Anywhere is a fun and lighthearted album with occasional heavy undertones and witty lyrics. Songs like "Raoul" and "Monster" catapulted the band into the public eye, whilst the potential for even bigger and better songs is visible in songs like "Recover" and "By My Side". The loss of serial screecher Penney may cause the band to lose one of their unique selling points for the second album, but here he can be heard clearly. His voice makes the album identifiable immediately. The album is brilliant for dancing along to, and many of the songs are fun ...  Read the complete review
