New Reviews
When the press release for a band tells you they are 'genre-defying' I'm inclined to treat it as something of a challenge, but this lot do come close. There's an explosion of brass and wailing guitars with more than one anthemic chorus, yet just around the corner there's a ska treatment lurking on the final track, so they have got me really. It's all sounds inspiring, and I would imagine live no one could resist dancing to this seven piece from Nottingham / Sheffield.

They Grind in with a youth and energy of the spiky haired prepubescent Busted - Do not misconstrue this statement! Their tight licks and crisp riffs drive along this good time Skate Poprock. A is for Ape carry a gleeful sophistication. They forge an alloy of Blink 182, a wee touch of Ska, and a spectacular schizophrenic vocal. One part of the vocal's personality screams Jon Bon Jovi, and the other powers a majestic Axl Rose. If you can't have fun listening to these guys with their catchy melodies exquisitely punctuated by a big brass trombone and a slick 80's saxophone, then perhaps its time to grunt and take your James Blunt back into that darkened room. Track 3 of this EP, 'End of an Era (Don't Go)', is legendary. Get yourself to the front of that stage and sing along!
