LOS Campesinos’ Gareth lost it when their album was leaked on the net before Christmas. He posted an emotional explanation for his reaction on the band’s website prompting a torrent of guilty admissions from fans who had downloaded the album but promised to buy it when it was officially released – yeah right. Single Romance is Boring (out Feb 15) is a taunting taster with a catchy chorus akin to a gang of schoolkids' playground jibes.
