The intro to Washout is so similar to Razorlight's Golden Touch, you half expect Johnny Borrell to chip in any second.

But while their sound isn't all that original, there's something inescapably effective about The Fallout Trust.

Rather than blandly disappearing into the background behind the bands they emulate, they seem to have plucked the best bits from a number of sources making them much more than your average copy-cats.

A smashing little tune. There's no reason why this shouldn't be a hit.
