I've had this record for three months now, intending to write a blurb on it in February. But I have a routine about these things, and the final step is the disc makes it upstairs to the office where I catalog it and file it away, editing the file on the computer and then writing the post. But see, I've already given two copies of this away and the last step hasn't happened yet. So before I forget it, here it is...Don't know where I heard about this one either, but I'm glad I did. Sort of a dirty, funky, grungy record that is sort of stylistically all over the place. I went to the website and watched the video and I'm drawn to comparisons of a harder Fine Young Cannibals. But the band they most resemble is the Zutons. So now, many of you old farts are going "Who?!" Trust me, the Zutons are one of the best bands to come out of Britain since the Commitments, so the comparison is definitely a compliment. And thanks to the power of automobile commercials, you've now heard one of the songs from this album. The Kia Sedona ad with the grownup kid toys in the car...yep, How You Like Me Now?
