Essex boys
Baddies mean business; they’ve got the look, they’ve got the banter, and they’ve perfected their menacing glares in true
Johnny Rotten style. But have they got the music? The quick answer is a resounding “yes”. Exploding into action with ‘Tiffany, I’m Sorry’ and their stand-out single ‘Open One Eye’, they make concise blasts of quirky, high-energy punk rock that owes as much to
Kaiser Chiefs,
Maxïmo Park and
Franz Ferdinand as it does
The Clash,
The Jam and
Sex Pistols. This is an incredibly focused debut that’s bursting with mischief, mayhem and shout-out-loud choruses. You’d be mad to miss it.
