They seem to be one of those Marmite bands but I couldn't help but be blown away when they're debut album came out - it was everything you could hope for from a Scouse band - Beefheart, Love, Scott Walker, The Elevators, Syd Barrett, Bunnymen, Teardrops, Morricone and NO BEATLISMS!
And don't forget the Lee Perry/Augustus Pablo-flavoured hidden space dub tune at the end of the CD.
