This NY combo seem to be getting plugged everywhere at the moment. Lots of things being said about them that make them sound interesting: 'Happy Mondays-meets-Bugsy Malone' and 'The Bee Gees, Beck and the B52s in a blender' were said in an interview in Metro yesterday. Then a few pages later the review of the album suddenly made it stink... 'piano boogie worthy of Elton John and a song that sounds like George Michael singing by the fire. Influenced by 80s power ballads (...)'
Hmm. I'm starting to sniff the whiff of hype here.
