By: Larm 2009 - Manatee Racket

So, last week BD went to Norway and the By: Larm festival. It was brilliant, and we haven't recovered fully yet, this whole week has been tough.

We saw lots of bands there, some crap, some fantastic, lots of average ones. One bunch that stood out were Norwegians Manatee Racket who came across a bit like a Norwegian version of Bombay Bicycle Club. They were young, shambolic and had lots of charm. We'll definitely keep an eye on them, they had lots of charm.

Here's "Sarah went to cinema" from their EP "Play in the backyard":
