Album Intro：
去年英國的Sheffield算是出了Arctic Monkeys而揚眉吐氣，於是人們紛紛在想除了Arctic Monkeys，這個「人傑地靈」之處還有什麼未被發掘的團體，於是去年就又出現了Milburn和the Long Blondes，而我覺得是Sheffield最好的樂隊則是Little Man Tate，Arctic Monkeys的成功還是很有泡沫成分，相比之下Little Man Tate一路走來還是非常踏實的，他們起初是通過自己獨立的公司發行了兩首單曲，其中的一首What? What You Got打上了第40名，可喜的是我期盼已久的這張專輯並沒有把這兩首早期作品包括在內，在專輯中你可以聽到的是他們祖居、、 突破性的單曲House Party at Boothy's還是出現在了專輯中，這也是我最喜歡的一首曲子。一月底陪伴著專輯發行的還有他們的新單曲Sexy In Latin。
In just eighteen hugely eventful months since forming, and less than a year after signing a record deal, Jon Windle (vocals), Maz (guitar), Ben Surtees (bass) and Dan Fields (drums) have chalked up three exhilarating top 40 singles, completed a string of riotous sold out tours, and become one of the most exciting new guitar bands in the country.
As the title suggests, this hotly anticipated debut album is lead singer Jon Windle's masterclass in autobiographical storytelling. Oozing heart and soul, the album is full of true stories and a cast of colourful characters, combining a touch of Steel City realism with a healthy does of suburban hedonism It was recorded at Lincolnshire's Chapel Studios and produced by Elliot James, who cut his teeth working alongside Paul Epworth on Bloc Party, The Rakes and The Futurehead's debut albums and counts The Sunshine Underground and The Fields among his own production credits.
Full of Little Man Tate's classic, big hearted songs, 'About What You Know' is a debut album of such depth and quality that the band's sold out, ultra rare debut single 'The Agent' and its top 40 follow up 'What? What You Got' don't even make the cut. It does however feature the outrageously catchy top 40 single 'House Party At Boothy's' and the current swaggering top 30 smash 'Man I Hate Your Band'. A new single, 'Sexy In Latin' will be released in January.
