Sure, they're one of the most exciting British exports since those cool yellow Boddingtons cans. But what can really be said of Los Campesinos! beyond their proclivity for shouting at each other and some breathless testament to their talent?

Well, they've got that EP dropping July 17 from Arts & Crafts, for one. They apparently do that cool Ramones thing where they all claim their last name is Campesinos! (Yes, complete with the exclamation mark!) And, as it turns out, they're touring a spell, packing in a few North American dates around their big day out at Lollapalooza before a full-scale UK tour in October. 'Nuff said; well, for now, anyway.
