They've got no regrets (but they have got polka dots)

Excitement is mounting in the Growl house in anticipation of the release on Monday of the debut album from Brighton's finest indie girl group - The Pipettes! And even better, after not getting round to see them live for so long, there are two chances for me to see them for (almost) free. First is Monday at 6pm at an instore launch at HMV on Oxford Street, and next is at the Ben and Jerry's mini-festival on Clapham Common on 28 July (for a mere fiver!). Looking forward to some polka-dotted fun.

In advance of what's shaping up to be a fine album, here are some tracks that they recorded for Rob Da Bank's Blue Room show on Radio 1 last weekend.
