Some may think Leeds’ Pigeon Detectives are a poor man’s Cribs. Maybe so, but only in the same way that Arcade Fire are a poor man’s Radiohead – either.

Harking back to the days when songs were only just over two minutes long and raced along, cramming in as much as possible with guitars playing just the three obligatory chords, the debut album by the Pigeon Detectives, Wait for Me arrived at the end of May 2007 on the independent Leeds based record label Dance to the Music. Entering the charts at number three, the album was produced by Will. THE PIGEON DETECTIVES Wait For Me (2007 UK 12-track debut CD album including the singles Romantic Type I Found Out & Im Not Sorry picture sleeve in a hype stickered jewel case DTTR030CD) Review. Let's get one thing straight: The Pigeon Detectives have not got one original bone in their collective bodies. The Pigeon Detectives have crafted a very enjoyable album which is incredibly listenable. I believe that one of the main problems with the current music scene is that there are loads of bands in Britain who sound the same. You can't say this of The Pigeon Detectives who are a breath of fresh air in 2007.
