The Skuzzies apparently have a burgeoning support in London, according to their PR, though it’s hard to believe as I am sure there are a thousand bands that sound like this in London alone. Its copycat, pale imitation cliché time I’m afraid. Pete Doherty has a lot to answer for and The Skuzzies is one of them. The first two tracks are instantly forgettable attempts at some Babyshambles attitude and only the last track My Wings throws in a spark of originality with a good bit of reggae-rock and some half decent tempo changes. If only the music matched the hype.
