| Joe Newman (vocals and guitar), Thom Green (drums), Gwil Sainsbury (guitar and bass) and Gus Unger-Hamilton (keys) met just five years ago while attending Leeds University. But in the short time since, their band, Alt-J, has earned heady comparisons to the likes of Coldplay and Hot Chip. But since their debut LP, 'An Awesome Wave,' and its soaring folk-influenced dub music recently won the prestigious Mercury Prize as the year's best album from the United Kingdom and Ireland, other bands will now be compared to Alt-J. And in a New York City button shop they perform "Matilda," one of the album's lead singles.
