According to the 'Hitchhiker's guide through the Galaxy', you need a towel ... so would somebody be so kind to put the man on a rocket?

He's just kind of typical Brit-emo-pop sounding to me. Generic and wanting to be something great without exactly being great. Or good. Or decent for that matter.

I think this kid's mom had a bad acid trip and was listening to the Kinks when she was knocked-up with him.
Somehow I don't think that will ever happen....hard to imagine a "world tour" featuring his current "style"...but then again what do I know
I think his voice is abrasive and he can't play. If I want "clever" lyrics, I can go elsewhere. However, this is just some ranom wanker who's barely known. If this was the biggest thing going, I'd probably be more upset.
OMG, terrible! Really, I don't care what you guys are saying about being nice to him, if I saw him in the street I'd shoot him!
The streets are filled with chavs like that here in England, and now somebody gave one of them a bass?! Please kill me! A chav is still a chav!

That was certainly "interesting", he just looks like some random scally who's been handed a bass (with a towel in) and told to play it. Awful...
Also it sounds a bit like he's jumping on the current Indie bandwagon going through here at the moment, of which I'm not a fan of.

Considering his playing... well, he rushes the times and his picking gives pretty awkward
sound, but hey he accompanies the song, kind of those songs children sing when sitting around the campfire. I mean, no one expects him to play groovy walking line to compliment this kind of song, right?

How many chavs does it take to change a lightbulb?
Apparently three -- one to steal the light bulb, one to brag about stealing it, and one to beat the other two up before changing it....
You are indeed correct. The aforementioned chav is a virtuoso compared to the guy in that clip....
firstly...Jamie T? pfft
secondly what the hell is he on about?
and third where did he get his bass skills? pete wentz's long lost cousin for **** bass playing methinks
Im 16 and he pisses me off. Chav.

Thats funny, because when I searched his name I got
Sheila, If You Got The Money, Calm Down Dearest, Freshly Squeezed, Back in the Game, So Lonely was the Ballad, Salvador, Rawhide, not to mention all those live songs which I didn't bother checking. All that on the first search page. So I hardly think that that comment is very fair.
If a bass isn't a guitar, why are you posting in the bass guitar forum?
I've put a towel inside an ABG before, to give some weight to the insides, so it doesn't get beat up as bag when its in a gig bag, especially in a tour van.
Same guy, new hairdo and an electric bass. Probably.
Oh no ...he's expanding his appeal to reach
"new markets"!No doubt he's largely overrated and really bad, and he's too laid back with how he is right now, but there's no reason to overreact either.
But like I said. He is bad.
Really bad.

Really bad.
My take on this guy is the same I got when I listened to Sunn O)), which is good idea poor execution...He sounds like he saw the violet femmes once and wanted to be in the arctic monkeys.
I also agree he looks like a failed guitarist.
