Crazy times, 1991. Mr. Bartron himself first played this record for me way back when, and I was immediately hooked. I was towards the end of my teen angst at the time, and this album seemed to mirror that angst. Great singing, heavy drums and two bassists. Two bassists??? What an ingenious idea. I was blown away by the notion of playing a high melody with a bass guitar, as well as one in the rhythm section. This album has tons of single worthy tracks and I think there were at least three or four released from the album in the U.K. As good as this record is, I may like their next record “Are You Normal?” a little bit more. That’s proven by the fact that "Are You Normal?" has already been played on this part of the show. One of the most overlooked English bands of the 1990’s that’s for sure. We can only hope that the reunion that looks to be in the works makes its way around the states real soon. This one goes out to the friends of 1991.
