One of the bands I was most excited about in the mid-noughties were synth-poppers White Rose Movement, but sadly they fizzled out after a decent Paul Epworth-produced debut album. Frontman Finn Vine has been plugging away more recently as Genuflex, and has teamed up with Tom Vek to deliver a track together as The Fax, to raise money to aid the current refugee crisis.
The percussive 'Careless In Rome' is evocative of These New Puritans, albeit offering more melodically, thanks to Vine's enticing vocals. All proceeds from the single go to Migrant Offshore Aid Station and The Refugee Council. Google are also matching aid donations made through their own portal.
