With the physical release of their debut album Waited Up Til It Was Light about to hit stores, Birmingham's Johnny Foreigner are stirring up a lot of attention for their super-catchy dancepunk.

Often compared to Bloc Party, the band makes "noisy pop songs about girls and gin" (Drowned In Sound) and is a ton of fun if you've had a couple yourself! Check out their singles below and see why NME can't stop gushing:

While Waited more than impresses as a collection of raucous singalongs, it's the heartstrings threaded throughout that make it an album to fall in love with and Johnny Foreigner a band to believe in. Whether it's Berrow's paranoia ("Hot girls know the words to our songs and I'm terrified of what comes next," he yelps on Yr All Just Jealous ) or the way Sometimes, In The Bullring 's "I will wait for you at work when all your early shifts run late" feels like a text message you've always wanted to receive from That Girl You Like, every arms-aloft high and teary low adds more colour to this picture of perfect youth. It's a record equally suited to the house party at the end of the world or the quiet moment before dawn when the planet is at its most beautiful.
