Kissed the boys and made them cry

It's the summer, officially, and the summer is not the time for whiny-ass ballads about broken hearts and dead puppies. Instead, have a song that will warm your cockles. Dragonette are Canadian, but based in London, and have made a record which has loads of pop suss. The Observer wrote nice things about them recently, and it's not hard to see why. Almost every song on their debut 'Galore' has a chorus that shines, and most songs, particularly 'Competition' and 'Jesus Doesn't Love Me' will make you dance so hard. They don't have the in-your-face-iness of Girls Aloud, or the sass of Annie, but there's lots to like here. Lightweight for sure, but more fun than a boxful of puppies. Here's the forthcoming single.
