The Brent Flood, Morrissey-esque?

Has anyone here heard about a London band called The Brent Flood? I keep hearing their singer has a real Morrissey melancholy about him that's getting a fair bit of attention down there. I haven't managed to catch them live but this track on their website is a great example. It's about a guy who gets beaten up in a bar for being too good-looking, I guess the voice isn't the only similarity!

Wow, that really sucked! Someone should beat him up in a bar!!
 
Cutting, dude. I think it's a decent tune. Different strokes/folks eh.
 
Music: Lesser blur b-side from '93 Vocals: Not Like Morrissey
 
I don't know about the voice, it's not really deadpan like Moz but I hear a similarity in the changes and the melodies he picks out for sure. Maybe that's what they're on about. Nice little tune, sounds nothing like Blur.
