What with the Futureheads off trying to regain their crowns as the reigning kings of quirky Britpop, The Wombats crept up behind their backs and made one of the most fun albums of 2007. A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation features songs ripped from the band’s diaries (literally) and “Backfire at the Disco” is one of them. The tale of a perfect date gone awry, the angular pop riffs (prevalent in all of the Wombats’ material) are great for jumping around bedrooms to, or grinding to on sticky dance floors, etc. A Plague of Angels (always a good place to pick up on stuff like this) featured a few Wombats tracks today, so why not have a look…
