Blastronaut 1333 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 My other half has been tasked with reviewing this for a local scene website. It's eh, certainly something. I had to endure this about three times today and once yesterday and I'm at the stage of thinking it's deliberately terrible and the blueprint was "something that sounds like Poly Styrene had a massive stroke in the 90's and went on to replace Watty in the Exploited. Weirdly when I mistyped their band name into google I landed on a review of their live set by none other than The Ginger Quiff. No idea if it's the same bloke or just coincidence but seemed relevant enough to mention here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a different person. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a different person. I was a bit doubtful, just seemed a good way to shoehorn this shitpost into being relevant. Weirdly their previous stuff has a lot more merit, fuck knows what this change in direction is about. Im trying to help my better half find some positives and all I have is "hopefully it's parody and we're missing the point". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1333 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Speaking of bands containing women, Dead Pony's recent cover of Maneater has probably eclipsed that South Shields boy's take on Dan Deacon's Wham City in the best covers stakes.

thebrokendoll 9231 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 odd connection here but @Billy Whitehurst mentioning his wife was french made this song pop in to me mind. incidently, the lass in the video is perri lister, formerly of hot gossip, ex of billy idol and very much english. also the french lyrics are spoken by brigitte arens, who's actually belgian. anyway, two things.... was this the best 80s synth song ever? I'd say so! does the song contain the sexiest accent in a song ever? I'd say probably yes to that too! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15531 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 There was a jingle, even. A cheery a cappella chorus of "I haven't heard it in aaaaaaaaayyyy-ges!". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33229 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I recognise Brown, Robson and Coleman standing next to other on the left but don't recognise the rest but might remember their names? I'd take a guess the one next to Coleman could be Graham Courtney who ended up doing the sports presenting but could be wrong? (Just saw the writing on the bottom left! It ain't Courtney).

When he was born my missus said "he looks like he needs a wee old man name" so the Oscar Peterson slant (my grandad played in and managed Jazz bands in the 50s and 60s) and my late father's name as a middle name was a winner and resulted in the poor fucker having to live with the initials OAP.
