I can't choose what people decide to send me, but generally, sending me something that resembles 90's Brit-pop probably isn't going to end in a thumbs up.  I had to endure that kind of stuff from every angle at high-school.  That said, The Nash do it well - especially for a Spanish Band living hundreds of miles from the source of the genre.  They've got it all: the so-so headnodding rhythms, the winding and directionless guitar solos, the bland song structures, all topped of with a whiny vocal.  Yep, they do it perfectly, they've even got an emotional acoustic song for good measure.  I quite like "Said and Done" for it's bouncy energy but everything else just fits the formula for music I have no desire for.
