The School

The School, "All I Wanna Do" on the Rough Trade "Counter Culture" compilation

They haven’t even released their first full-length yet (it’ll be out this year on Elefant) and THE SCHOOL have still managed to build up enormous expectations. The prestigious chain of stores (and record label) Rough Trade, in their annual best of the year compilation, “Counter Culture ‘08”, released this past January 26th, includes “All I Wanna Do” among its chosen songs, highlighting the Welsh group as “one of the reinventors of indie-pop along with bands like THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART, CRYSTAL STILTS y THE VIVIAN GIRLS”. It’s still incredible the quantity of fans (including the media, other groups, critics…) who affix themselves to the passionate melodies, the precious arrangements and the exciting songs by Liz and the rest of the group, who have been compared to names as diverse as THE SUPREMES, THE SHIRELLES, SATURDAY LOOKS GOOD TO ME or CAMERA OBSCURA.
We can’t wait for that full-length!
