This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Remember seeing these guys in the local bar listings a few weeks back?
Maybe you do — and maybe like us, you skipped their gig because you’d never heard of them. Well, turns out they’re the new band from former Ned’s Atomic Dustbin vocalist John Penney. Turns out they’re also pretty decent, if this five-song debut EP is any sign — it’s got meaty, beaty Britpop with giant swaths of fuzzy, post-grunge guitar and Penney’s keen sense of melody. A full album is due in the new year. Next time, let’s hope they give us a little more warning before they show up again.
