Foot tapping quickly becomes mandatory and the general feel is motivational. Iain Hammond&#8217;s vocal style bears great resemblance to Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy and also Caleb Followill of Kings of Leon and this only enhances the quality of sound on this track. You could easily be mistaken for thinking this was more than a three piece band as the power behind it is quite profound. This song grows on you more by each listen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;\">B\u201d side track \u201cShe&#8217;s His Woman\u201d has a much more subtle, laid back approach but again is distinctive in style.
