Computerman – ‘No More Broken Hearts’ (Must Destroy) Released 05/12/05

Scruffy white boys with guitars playing inoffensive indie-schmindie. That seems to be the in thing at the moment, doesn’t it? Well then, Nottingham five-piece Computerman are about as hip as it gets. Debut single ‘No More Broken Hearts’ has all the trend following Killers synth and post-punk guitar scratchiness to sound as up-to-the-minute as the talking clock - and just as predictable.  But while some will no doubt rabidly proclaim this to be “the thrilling sound of now” or some such hyperbole, wouldn’t you much rather wait for the sound of tomorrow?
