Controller is an album by British India, released in 2013. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “I Can Make You Love Me”, on 1 list with a best position of #41.
Controller, British India's fourth album, came out through Liberation Music on 22 March 2013, the Melbourne band's first record since signing with the label, with a publishing deal at Mushroom thrown in. The four who'd started out as schoolmates at St. Bede's College were all still there: Declan Melia singing and on rhythm guitar, Nic Wilson on lead, Will Drummond on bass and Matt O'Gorman on drums.
Most reviewers were glad to have them back at full strength, one hearing a band clawing back the power and intensity that had gone missing on Avalanche. It's wiry, sharp-elbowed guitar rock with the Strokes and Interpol somewhere in its DNA, Melia's sneer riding the riffs. "I Can Make You Love Me" was out ahead of it in 2012, and "Summer Forgive Me" followed on the countdowns. It debuted at number 10 on the ARIA chart, their third straight top-10 entry. Nothing Touches Me came next.
