Cardiff's Leave The Capital sure know how to make a first impression. Backed by recent acclaim from the likes of Radio 1's Steve Lamacq, the band's debut single 'Matchsticks' is a beautifully emotional moment on a scale that far befits their years. Combining the subtleties of Elbow with the ambitious aim of Doves, 'Matchsticks' acts as a pleasant introduction to a band that undoubtedly have a lot to offer over the coming years, and with 'Versus' and 'You Can't Kill An Idea' - particularly the former - faring little worse, here's to hoping this Welsh outfit can forge their own furrow, as opposed to simply being another Coldplay.

Rating: 5/5 by Alex Nunn
