An exciting upbeat indie punk release, (well mainly
alternative indie – the punk really comes
out in the opening track "Punk RIP" so
maybe that's understandable,) from the Paddingtons,
back again to try and claim centre stage, after
a career which has seen them on the outskirts.
This is awesome, really awesome. The perfect combination.
Enough distortion and pace to get you rocking
along, choruses that keep you singing along, and
melodies that please the ears and sustain listenability.
Let's go for some name-drops. The Enemy? A (slightly)
maturer Pigeon detectives? A softer Milencolin?
That's enough.
Highlight tracks are "What's The Point In
Anything New," "Shame About Elle,"
"Plastic Men," and "Stand Down,"
which will quench your thirst for having your
socks rocked, without a doubt. There's that real
nostalgic feeling for me of my teenage years,
getting into the more sedate of the punk-esque
bands, but at the same time there's the indie
edge which reassures me that I'm allowed to enjoy
it without feeling imature.
The only drawback, is that it's all fairly samey.
But given that one track is good, surely that
means they're all good. In fairness, it's only
thirty-five minutes, I think they've got it spot
on.
4.5/5
