Saw him open for Green Day at Old Trafford last wednesday and thought he was bloody good. Have been checking out his work since and have also bought tickets to see him in Liverpool later in the year. Easily some of the best lyrics ive heard in a long time.

Used to be the singer with Million Dead who were perennial 'support band' material earlier in the 00's, much like Hundred Reasons. I've never really made myself familiar with his solo stuff, though I'm sure it's the sort of thing I'd like, so I must get round to it one day.

Yeh apparently he was just starting to venture into his solo stuff before Million Dead split up.

His solo stuff is described as "Folk punk" and is an almost perfect soundtrack to summer days like this.

Also cant believe i forgot to post this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D-g8couICE
Written about the death of a close friend but still manages to remain a fairly positive upbeat song.

I've got a couple of albums. Good stuff on the whole, not sure I'd call him the best song writer in Britain but you'e right - sounds good in the sun.

Love, Ire and Song is good.

Now there's a band I used to like. Only saw them once though at Leeds Festival.
