Less likely things have happened I supposed, but..  I’m still agape.

In truth, Shit Browne don’t remind me so much of Manchester’s leading lights as the bands on the periphery, and those who came after. If you’ve listened to Northside’s Shall We Take A Trip too many times you’ll find lots here to like. Un soupçon de Pop Will Eat Itself, un peu de Carter USM.. “Learning from the Mondays, w*nking on the Roses, copying the Charlatans, smoking the Carpets..” – tonight these guys are gonna party like it’s 1989.

Hommage or parodie? You decide.

Download DMD (Anoraak Sunset Mix) from RCRDLBL.com. The new album Every Single Penny Will Be Reinvested In The Party is out now.
