Alphabet Backwards save the polar bears

It's always a treat to find something local in Oxford that's kind to my battered ear drums. I saw Alphabet Backwards last week playing alongside the sublime Message To Bears at The Wheatsheaf. They're fantastic performers, the frontman James exudes a wonderfully genuine and infectious enthusiasm that not even a grumpy bugger like me can resist. I bought their self-titled mini album today, the track that most jumped out at me was 'Polar Bears.' Now I want to know why Alphabet Backwards weren't at Copenhagen.
