Formed four years ago at Liverpool's Institute of Performing Arts - essentially the northern version of Croydon's Brits school, and also the place that gave us Sandi Thom - the Wombats have an irrefutable yet charming pop edge. Their debut album may not be breaking any new ground in the world of rock'n'roll, but the three-piece don't half know their way around a catchy melody.

Opening with the barbershop-based Tales of Girls, Boys and Marsupials, their jaunty, yearning tunes take in everything from hating rom-coms, namely Bridget Jones (Kill the Director) and escaping across the ocean (Moving to New York), issues all seemly stemming from woman trouble, a problem made even clearer in the aching Patrica the Stripper. Elsewhere, the lovelorn likes of Little Miss Pipedream bring to mind 1990s twee indie also-rans Hefner, as singer Matthew Murphy yelps his way through the hapless lyrics like it's an entry in his secret diary. Heartbreak never sounded like so much fun.
