Great indie band with lots of catchy tunes! You should def check them out! 

2014 

Tuning: Standard 

 
  

Chords used: 
E A B <- actual chord sounds 

C F G (on

Hard to play without an electric guitar/cutaway as the into is quite high up on the frets. 

For strumming pattern listen to the song - its a distinct pattern but I don't know  
what the strumming technique is called :<
