It’s hard to knock a free record – it’s kind of like slagging Metro. It holds no inherent value and you give up halfway through but, y’know, it’s free… what do you expect? The same could be said for Nine Black Alps’ third outing, selflessly given away free for a whole two months before its release. Probably because if the Manchester quartet actually had to sell this album, they’d have more chance flogging Feeder records outside Topman. Everything about ‘Locked Out From The Inside’ back-pedals to the ’90s – from the clunky lyrics that assert “every photograph steals your soul, yeah?”, to the air-guitar solos and tedious Buffy references. But, y’know, it’s free…
