HINGLEYS HIT OF THE NIGHT: We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives

Los Campesinos! / We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives

This is a short but ever so sweet indie pop song from Welsh seven-piece Los Campesinos! This was one of the bands very first tracks and it really does shout out with youthful vibrancy and abandon. We Throw Parties... has a very political edge as the band sing about cherryade, parties and fancy dress all in the context of war, with blood, knives and broken limbs all being mentioned as the band play out a heady mix of hip-shaking indie and syrupy pop harmonies. It may not be particularly groundbreaking but We Throw Parties... proved to be a fine start for a young indie band who have now grown into a truly thrilling act.

Excellent.
