The croon is making a comeback.
I'm not talkin' Bing Crosby crooning; I mean the kind the New Romantics revitalised, and that The Smiths have stamped eternally, indelibly cool. It's in new bands like Cut Off Your Hands and Foreign Born, and Melbourne's shockingly able upstarts Oh Mercy.
After gaining considerable buzz off their EP, In The Nude for Love, Oh Mercy's debut LP, Privileged Woes, is a killer collection of songs for springtime, with a wry sense of humor and catchy melodies.

No they won't. Hehe, because Oh Mercy is a Melbourne band who everyone loves, and who, frankly, have a better sense of humour than Mister "People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties" anyway.
