I've tried google searching the lyrics and have come up repeatedly empty handed. Due to the accent in the song and the fact that it is featured on a video portraying a British surfer, I'd suspect the song has its origins in the region.

Song starts at 0:21

edited to add: here is their site: http://www.myspace.com/rugfireuk

If you like Uncle Tupelo, Old 97's, early Wilco, etc...you will dig this.

"ionosphere".

Can't believe I can't find any lyrics via google search. odd.


Has a very Uncle Tupelo feel. I think it's funny their style is called Americana when all the "americana" songs are just variations on old songs from the British Isles.

Many thanks.

They're Welsh, as Phalanx pointed out

Their style is classic alt-country with a little folk thrown in.

Great band.

That's impressive, I figured I'd be able to google it, I tried for longer than I'd like to admit. Well done.
