I've not heard the new LP yet, but I thought they were unfairly maligned first time round. I liked the debut LP and thought there was far more to it than the Jack The Ripper angle, e.g. I remember describing She Is The New Thing as sounding like the early Teardrops on a rowdy night out.
Any doubts that there was talent here definitely disappearded when I heard when I heard the The Spider & The Flies spin-off band. OK, they'd patently been listening to Warm Leatherette, but you knew that they weren't one trick ponies.
And their cover of Shadazz was very neat, too.
I like what I've heard off the new LP. I'll be buying it.
