Leeds’ Bad Sneakers records have been quietly responsible for a lot of impressive releases this year. ‘Black Friday’ oozes blues and soul and more importantly, does so convincingly, which is somewhat of a genre rarity this side of the Atlantic. With a cover of Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Isle Of sirens’ gracing the B-side, these folks know their roots. On the strength of this release, The Sugars are a band worth keeping an eye on.
