Terminal overachievers
You could never accuse these Leeds indie urchins of giving anything less than 100%. At Radio 1's Big Weekend, singer Matt Bowman badly injured his leg in the fourth song but continued to leap off the stage & scissor kick into the air off the drum kit until he collapsed. Matt had to leave the site by ambulance. The following day, they released their single This Is An Emergency.

I've never seen them before yesterday or heard much of their music, but even so this was the highlight of the day. The lead singer was brilliant and really got the crowd up. I'm sure I will now go and try and see them live again. Just fantastic.
