Truly awful, well done lads, not only are you part of the shocking wave of Dog Poo bands promoting themselves alongside the greats such as when 'HARD-FI' compared their album 'No Cover Art' to the Beatle's White Album, but you have most probably pissed off thousands of Bowie fans around the country no to mention the poor bloke himself. Oh deary me...

They should have covered "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide", much more apt I feel

Pretty poor to be honest! They sound like a cabaret act! They should just learn to stick to their own tunes.
