Scouting For Girls - Scouting For Girls

Advantages: Music that is uplifting, fun and with great catchy choruses
Disadvantages: None really.

...Scouting For Girls has to be my favourite band at present. Their uplifting style of music really captured my imagination. They have been a definite favourite on Radio 1 and a personal favourite of Chris Moyles. Their songs are catchy, euphoric and great fun and this 3 piece band have had one hell of a year. - Having formed in 2005, this London based Indie/pop band have had tremendous success since their debut, self titled album 'Scouting For Girls' ...
...which is produced for the Scouting association... On my birthday I received a lovely message from the band on Myspace wishing me a 'Very Happy Birthday', which I thought was really sweet of them and absolutely made my day and this CD was one of my 'asked for' birthday gifts this year. They are great with their fans and are constantly aware and grateful who they owe a huge part of their fast success to- -SCOUTING FOR GIRLS- -KEEP ON WALKING- The ... Read review

Advantages: A Brilliant Bouncy Album
Disadvantages: Theres only 10 Tracks!!

Scouting for Girls is the superb debut album from the London threesome Scouting For Girls. Consisting of a just a piano, bass guitar and drummer this up and coming ban have a massive future. In my review I'll be telling you what i think about all the tracks, the value for money and the cd case. The Tracks 1) Keep On Walking - A great opening to a brilliant album. The song is about a man grieving after his wife left him. He waits up each night "listening ...
...yet effective. It has just Scouting for Girls wrote on a papyrus-esce background, and the single image of two boys in a boat. The back of the case contains the full track listing, but beware, the back looks quite tatty, but this is how its meant to look. The album label is Epic.

Advantages: Some superbly catchy tracks, the music works without a guitar in sight.
Disadvantages: All the songs sound the same, lyrical intelligence is low, mass repetition of lyrics.

Scouting For Girls are a Pop Rock band from London. They are currently signed to Epic Records, and with lyrics exploring subjects such as wishing to be James Bond for the day and lusting after Michaela Strachan when they were the age of twelve; it is clear that Scouting For Girls do not take themselves too seriously. They formed in 2005, released this self-titled album in September 2007, and already they have shifted over 300 000 copies of it. This ...
...The sound of Scouting For Girls is one that you will either love or hate; I feel that there is generally no middle ground with this sort of music as you will either take on board and be amused by the cheesy lyrics, or this will be a factor that will make you despise and detest the band. I personally don't mind the lyrical content of the band at all, it actually adds to the charm and enjoyment that can be gained from listening to Scouting For Girls ... Read review

Advantages: Fun, Catchy, Upbeat, Cheap Price
Disadvantages: Nothing Special, Dodgy Lyrics

If you don't mind a slice of cheese with your rock, pop and fries then the debut album "Scouting for Girls" by the band of the same name might be an album you'll enjoy. The band were only formed in 2005 so to have not only released but achieved success with an album in 2007 is pretty impressive considering all the would-be rockers out there who've struggled for a decade or more without finding fame. Unfortunately it does have to be noted that a large ...
...to marketing as much as real talent. In fact real talent is not a good reason to be buying this album. The second track on this album "She's So Lovely" has been the band's biggest hit to date; it made the UK top ten in both the singles and downloads charts. The lyrics are absolutely appalling: "She's pretty, a fittie; she's got a boyfriend though and that's a pity" is a prime of example of just how medieval and simplistic it can get. But, the reason ...

Advantages: Fun, catchy songs, Fresh Sounding
Disadvantages: Some weaker songs

Scouting for girls are a London three-piece band who have risen to fame quite promptly after only forming in 2005 and were signed in 2007 by Epic. I was lucky to catch the band recently at the Oxford Academy. The band still had the freshness and enjoyment of their newly found fame. The songs are simply written and are songs taken from an average kid growing up in the modern world - I know some of the songs could be based on my life and all contain ...
...the easiest band to compare Scouting for girls to is The Feeling for the purely Keep on Walking - Quite a nice chilled out start to the song to start album. Although its quite a good track to have on the album I don't think it's a real catchy opening to the album. 6.5/10 She's so Lovely - The second single of the album that reached 7 in the UK charts. This is a more up tempo song. The song, as the title suggests, is based on a guys crush on a girl. ... Read review
