Sports Redux: Nobody Puts Bergey In the Corner
Monday we called Brit-rockers Guillemots something like Coldplay with more instruments. We’re sticking to it. Why on earth do we care about such a crazy statement? We don’t. Perhaps you might. Bostonist has come across an extra pair of tickets to this Sunday’s show at TT’s. Though we can’t make a claim that they’re going to tear the house apart, buy you a beer, or taunt anyone mercilessly, we are pretty sure that the show will be worth your time. If you don’t want to shell out the measly $10 yourself, this contest might be the perfect fit for your budget. After the jump, just drop your name and email address in the form and the lucky winner will have a pair of tickets to the show on Sunday. We’ll let you know by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, but we know you’ll be there to check it out anyway.

Crazy statement? Crazy popular:
Brooklyn Vegan says:
I've actually been listening to the new Guillemots EP a lot lately. My opinion of it flip-flops from bland Coldplay-Keane-like music to something much more interesting.
SPIN says:
If Coldplay's Chris Martin fronted Animal Collective, it might sound like Guillemots.
Seventrack says:
I posted about them a little bit before, but Guillemots are a new UK band that sounds (unsurprisingly) like Travis (vocals), early/good Coldplay (guitars).
heartonastick says:
Meet the Guillemots (pr. GIL-lee-mots, it’s a type of cliff-dwelling bird), the latest British pop-rock group to suffer from Coldplay’s dastardly Radiohead reduction. A shame, because they start with a lot of color.
