Here’s
another handful of singles that those lovely Record Companies like to keep my
Postman busy with:
Paul McLinden – Head Happy/Cheer Up
(OneInchPunch Records)
An AA sided
single which is something rather special.
Both tracks from the forthcoming Head Happy album released later this
month. Glaswegian Paul McLinden amply
displays his credentials with two very catchy efforts. Head Happy is a hypnotic and repetitive song
making you feel all super-duper for the day.
Cheer Up is a comletey different style, rockier but still as
enjoyable. Godd work Fella!
8.5/10

McLinden website is here.
Biscuithead and The Biscuit Badgers –
Cheese (Crabophone)
With a name
like theirs you’d maybe expect Biscuit And The Biscuit Badgers to be slightly
bonkers, but they’re not. They are
actually completely unhinged. If you
like Reeves And Mortimer you’ll probably love their daft sense of humour. Words are hilsrious and cleverly hang over
frm one line to the next. Completely mad
and pure genius.
8.5/10

Flaunt – I Might Have
Broken Ur Heart
Despite
some very silly spelling in the title, this si actually a pretty good
track. It’s simple and atmospheric notes
compliment the voic perfectly, and with some added blips and bleeps along the
way it’s all very pleasing. Desribed as
the “modern day equivalent to Keats” (not sure myself), the American act show
promise.
8/10

Draw – Alone Again Or
(Empire Records)
A
very creditable cover of th Love classic which was made popular again by The
Damned. Released to raise money for the
Children’s Hospice Assocation Scotland.
Originally fecorded in 2002, Alone Again Or was archived by Empire Records
shirtly after the band split. Released
for the first time some 11 eleven years later it has elements of the orohinak
whilst tipping a cap in te]he direction of Mr Vanian and crew.
8/10

Men In The Sky – Doom (Radio Edit)
First time I’ve
ever heard of a single being released from a previously EP, but what do I
know? The Scousers release an edited effort
from Version 1.0.1. and why shouldn’t they?
Echoes of Peter Hooks bass and Depeche Mode circa 1993 combine to make a
cracking track with some excelnnet drum sounds and guitar twangs. Watch out for Men In The Sky, you’ll hear a
lot more of them.
8.5/10
