British India return with terrible new single, picking up right where their shit album left off

Too harsh?

Well, we are making up for the fact we don't own a time machine and thus are unable to go back and be a little tougher on their debut album. We were far too kind back then. In hindsight, it barely should have registered past the two point zero mark. It should have been one of those 'funny' 'tough' reviews. Maybe another turd or something just as 'clever'.

The group's new single is called I Said I'm Sorry and it's from their upcoming record, Thieves, which is scheduled to hit stores on July 12.

While Gullotine got these guys to Grinspoon-like levels, we think Thieves will take them over the hump and get them to Powderchair stardom. Go for gold fellas!
