On Friday at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium, Charles Haddon the lead singer of the band Ou Est Le Swimming Pool committed suicide at the age of 22. For many, the band had the "next big thing" label attached to them, and deservedly so. I have managed to see the band twice over the last year or so, and they were pretty damn good. And what with their increasing small army of fans and a number of great ep's and singles under their belts, such as, 'Jacksons Last Stand', 'These New Knights' and the brilliant 'Dance The Way I Feel', they were a band who seemed to be going for the big time. With their debut album, 'Christ died for our synths' originally due out for an october release, it is still unsure weather it will now, ever see the light of day. I hope so, as we will have something to remember them by. If not, and either still, what a waste of a talent that was.
