Rough Trade
the astonishingly accomplished debut from the lambeth 4-piece captures the raw energy & on-stage chemistry of the party-hard band - the perfect distillation of the libertines' cocksure bravado, the strokes' swagger & the clash's attitude.
produced by pulp's Steve Mackey, the record is undoubtedly much cleaner & less shambolic than their live show but it nonetheless makes for a thrilling & intense listen that heralds the arrival of the next great indie-rock band that like the arctic monkeys & libertines before them, will unite fathers & sons in sing-a-long union. "Taking their cue from the first Glasvegas album, they drape these tunes in layers of Phil Spector-style echo & allow guitarist Sam Fryer or bassist Chilli Jesson, perhaps the Strummer/Jones of this generation, to add surprisingly tender vocal croons. If they continue to juggle studio & concert quite so brilliantly, they’ll be unstoppable. Let’s hope so." - bbc
