Two brothers! In thrall to the classicism of the 60s! Spotted playing to four dogs playing cards in a sticky boozer! By Alan McGee! Can you tell what it is yet? Yep, that’s right. Heavy Stereo. Tempered by the harmonies of Soulfly. Guitars jangle rockily as feet stomp and sideburns bob in an earnest, that’s-the-way-to-play-proper-music-that-is fashion.
‘Suicide’ does that thing where it’s about to stop halfway through the guitar solo, pauses for a second, then carries on until the booze-sodden ending. Which is either the height of excellence or the ultimate pub rock crime, depending on which table you’re slumped under. ‘Blue Soup’, meanwhile, tips its cap to Teenage Fanclub, which can only be a good thing. Teenage Fanclub are ace. Can’t we have a new single by them?
