Fire Drill Review:

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are slowly creeping up our great debut list of 2009 and this new EP release reminds us of why. What makes this release stellar is that you get four new tracks offered here and one killer remix of the title track from Saint Etienne, so these tracks are not merely b-sides or throwaways but make up another worthy release. The title track easily ranks up there with the groups best singles and the overall sound is a more direct style of indie pop, which showcases that The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are not just a one trick pony and could be in for a bright future!

Key Track: "Higher Than The Stars"

Band With Similar Fire: The Field Mice
