A newer British band from Medway (that's Billy Childish country) take what they've stolen from the past - The Who, The Kinks, The Jam - and create glorious, jagged little pop songs as if no one's ever tried all this a millions times before. The new, highly-recommended, album, Pictures, is jam-packed with full-tilt power-pop killers like, "I Don't Believe You":
And here's a snarling rocker, which just happens to be the title track from their last, equally great, album, Rentacrowd.
Support the band:

Upon further examination of said Len Price 3 I now consider my ass to have officially been kicked.
ReplyDeletePower Pop Forever!
Damn, I hope I don't need to work so hard to convince anyone else!!
ReplyDeleteGreat band. I love the new album. But gotta say, Rentacrowd with its echoes of Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere is hands down one hot damn song.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, jeffen.
ReplyDeleteI think you have my taste down pat.

ReplyDeleteAmen, I almost feel I should get the last album first because that song is so great.

It's easy when you've got such good tastes, though I suspect that our shared colonial Anglophilia helps matters.
