The Automatic: Not Accepted Anywhere

Next up on the British rock scene is The Automatic. Their debut, Not Accepted Anywhere, was the album of the week on the Zane Lowe show on BBC Radio 1 last week. The band combine many of the successful elements that you'll find with other British acts: layered vocals, keyboards, catchy choruses and even the occasional cowbell. The album is out today in the UK, no word yet on when it will be released in the states but it's never too early to jump on the bandwagon. Below are a couple of my favorite songs on the album. You can download an additional track on their MySpace page.

MP3: The Automatic - "Raoul"
MP3: The Automatic - "Keep Your Eyes Peeled"
