But it’s this current output that concerns us at the moment and I’m damned-glad to say that it’s more than worthy of our attention. It’s unashamedly catchy, upbeat ‘Pop’ as it ought to be, full of great melodies and the kind of Sixties-style sounds that never seem to age. Squeeky organ, pounding drum beats and fuzzed-up guitar riffs compete for space with the dreamy vocal style.

But despite all the references to past-spendours, this is an album that sounds remarkably fresh. This ought to be a record made by teenagers, desperate to show how vital and creative they can be, but instead they’re intent on taking exams, so fuck ‘em ! This music is all about passion, ideas and communication. It’s not particularly similar, sound-wise, but it kind of reminds me of the Naz Nomad album, in the way that is obviously a bunch of people having a great time playing great music. You’d be a fool to miss it !
