A British close-harmony vocal trio who are unapologetic fans of Music/TheAndrewsSisters, and who do a lot of {{cover version}}s and some original material. (They're not biological sisters; their joint StageName is clearly a tribute to their inspiration.) However, a proportion of the songs they cover InTheStyleOf '40s/'50s artists, with lots of harmonization and plunky bass fiddles, are much more recent, to interesting effect. Notably, they've covered Music/TheSmiths' "Panic", Music/KateBush's "Wuthering Heights", Music/TheBangles "Walk Like an Egyptian", Music/{{Blondie}}'s "Heart of Glass", and Music/{{Beyonce}}'s "Crazy in Love".

* BreakTheCutie: "And She Sang" tells of an innocent young woman who believes in fairy tales, and the new man in her life. He basically has some fun with her, and then leaves without a trace. That's when the music suddenly changes from witty and magical to a loud instrumental breakdown. Then, as the music calms down again, it feels a little sadder, signifying that the woman is merely a shadow of her former self.
