Someone to Drive You Home

Someone to Drive You Home is the 2006 debut album by Sheffield band The Long Blondes. It blends indie rock and post-punk revival with 1960s pop and glam touches, featuring angular guitars, propulsive bass lines and Kate Jackson's cool, literate vocal delivery. Songs pair catchy, melodic hooks with observational, often noirish lyrics, with tracks such as "Once and Never Again" and "Weekend Without Makeup" standing out for their blend of swagger and popcraft. The album established the band's presence in the mid 2000s UK indie scene.
