British Sea Power - "Waving Flags"

'British Sea Power' are possibly the most underrated band in the UK. The Brighton based band formed in 2000 and have five albums behind them. Their third album 'Do You Like Rock Music?' may have had them in a quandary, do they go the Coldplay' or 'Snow Patrol' way, or continue down the 'Arcade Fire' route... luckily, they chose the latter and released a stunning album. I'm not actually saying that the thought of being another 'Coldplay' even entered their minds, however, the point I was making was that they could've pulled it off, had they turned down the guitars and up the charm and/or were signed to a major label. 'Do You Like Rock Music?' was a maritime themed album with a single "Waving Flags" that got a lot of radio play on Bitter FM. In fact, it may now be getting a lot more airplay because I think I will make it the 'unofficial' Bitter FM Rugby World Cup song.... well, nothing on Bitter FM is ever 'official.'



Rugby World Cup 2011 New Zealand... we are ready - we are excited.


Rugby isn't complete without a Haka.
