Their agressive kind of melancholic pop works really good on songs like "Fragments","One","Secret day" and "Breaking through" - however the single "Miss you" is a pretty bad song with a supermonotone chorus. Xantom are masters of finding that special autumn mood in their music,I just have a hard time liking the singer.
Justin Hawkins, the singer of Hot Leg/The Darkness sang backing vocals on Def Leppard´s cover of The Sweet´s song "Hell Raiser" for their 2006 covers album "Yeah!"
