Manic pop frenzy with more than a hint of early
Beatles and just a twist of Manchester's seminal
Distractions. It's nice to hear London boys sounding so cheerful, though Lord knows what they've got to smile about, I mean have you seen the price of houses? They have the exuberance and melody of the
Housemartins, but replace the sixth form humour with a touch more conviction and emotion. The name's a bit puzzling. I'm sure it's rude, but then again it could be my cynicism creeping in again. (
