These guys have identified themselves as Northern Soul and punk fans and the energy of both comes blazing through here, particularly on songs such as ‘Blood Is Blue’. It is a creation which shimmers with excitement and temptation. If one were to close one’s eyes when one has this disc on, one is in a sweaty little basement club, surrounded by beer and fag fumes. If you listen a few times and then chisel away a few of these rough edges, you’ll find spots of gold lying underneath. Maybe a riff on one track, or a bit of atonal vocals on another, something here is sure to snag in the earlobe. These guys actually sound as though they are having a good time.
As Queen might have out it, they want it all and they want it now. And who are we to deny them?
