#40. LOS CAMPESINOS! - Romance Is Boring  LOS CAMPESINOS! are the kind of band who even three (arguably two full-lengths and an extended EP, but for the sake of being succinct let's just count them up to three) albums along in their career, prioritise their fans by investing their time and energy into bonuses such as their quarterly fanzine 'Heat Rash' and their 2010 free Christmas song download. 'Romance Is Boring' is typical of the eight-piece band's rowdy pop sensibilities - Los Campesinos! combine boy/girl back and forth vocals with shout-out-loud choruses, making their songs infinitely more likely to get stuck in your head than most of their other musical peers. On 'Romance Is Boring', Los Campesinos! stop at nothing to remind us exactly why they're a keeper. MUST-LISTEN: 'There Are Listed Buildings', 'In Media Res', 'I Warned You Do Not Make An Enemy Of Me', 'There Is A Flag. There Is No Wind'. YOU WILL LIKE, IF YOU LIKE: Titus Andronicus, Black Kids, The Cribs, The Naked And Famous... and fantasizing about the extracurricular uses of baseball bats. MUST-WATCH: Los Campesinos!'
