V-Twin : Thank you baby
No doubt [a]V-Twin[/a] assume their lo-fi, out-of-tune, cutie-pie cred inject them with an instant moral superiority.
A band from Glasgow who really rather like The Velvet Underground and have written a song to prove it. How unusual. The Velvet Underground were an excellent, innovative group who split up in 1971 (But reformed in 1993 D Ed). You can still buy their seminal 'The Velvet Underground' album in shops. It's ace.
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU BOTHER!?
No doubt V-Twin assume their lo-fi, out-of-tune, cutie-pie cred - big shout out to Stuart Murdoch, Stephen
Pastel
and the Hillhead Massive - inject them with an instant moral superiority over boring grave-digging dadrock tosh like Ocean Colour Scene. It doesn't. This is worse.
