Sneaky Feelings
Along with the Able Tasmans, perhaps the most consistently underrated Flying Nun band. They don't have the ragged goofball drone of early Clean; in fact, they don't really fit the archetype of the Dunedin Sound at all. It'd be tempting to describe them as power pop, but that implies a degree of muscularity they rarely show. Perhaps 'sixties-tinged popular music bearing faint traces of the Sound of Young Scotland' would be a more apt (if less snappy) tag.
Here's three songs from their three albums, none included on their recent(ish) best of, Positively George Street.
Sneaky Feelings - In the Shape of a Heart
Sneaky Feelings - It's So Easy
Sneaky Feelings - Someone Else's Eyes

i completely agree with you. Sneaky Feelings and Able Tasmans are the two most underrated NZ groups (at least over here in the states they're never mentioned).
