"Bright Idea" would be making oversized '80s rock and gleaming LA sheen the new sound of summer.

No Tomorrow, the stand-out single from this new album from Orson - which must have had the A&R men rubbing their thighs in anticipation when the demos came through - is the work of one of these bands.

While "stable" and "well-balanced" don't make great headlines, they've contributed to a nifty little summer album.

They sound like an effortless hit machine, leading off this debut with a fistful of obvious singles - "Bright Idea" itself, "No Tomorrow", "Happiness" and "Already Over" - that should ensure that they end 2006 as one of the year's hottest new acts.

At ten songs, Bright Idea is a compact pop album, not allowing things to become overwrought.

If you’re looking for depth, imagination and art, you’d do well to avoid this. But if you’re all about sunshine, big choruses, and surface-level emotion, you won’t go far wrong.

These one time US nobodies aim to please with their latest album but fail miserably.

They leave a disgusting trail of musical filth behind them as Bright Idea makes its way down to the breakfast bar.
