Slow Club

Slow Club   Have you ever heard giving up on love? No? Then you don't know what your missing bud... The song is from the Slow Club, which is a folk-rock duo from Sheffield England.  They are not a brand new band, in fact, they were formed back in 2006 right after the break-up of another Sheffield band (that you may know) called "The Lonely Hearts". No its not that band from the USA, this one is from England but its normal that you've never heard about it, because it never got popular and there is barely no info about this band online.   The band is made up of those two guys on the picture, Charles and Rebecca.

I was waiting for this movie to be release for about 2 months and it wasn't has good has expected.Firstly, the argument is pretty good and the way that they use it is, in my opinion, a way of showing people that we are very vulnerable to little events that can happen on the other side of the world.
