NOT content with helping to free the world from crippling poverty, Coldplay's Chris Martin is now resurrecting underachieving indie bands.
A long-time pal of Embrace, nice-guy Chris has penned the band's monster comeback single, Gravity, and now Out Of Nothing sees the McNamara brothers returning to big, whooping tunes. Opener Ashes sets the tone with its triumphant, flag-waving chorus, closely followed by Keeping and the string-laden Spell It Out, which should become live favourites. Vocalist Danny McNamara has never sounded better and saves his best performance for the emotional power ballad, Out Of Nothing, in a Last Night of the Proms-type finale. Chris Martin should top their Christmas card list.
