Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
They're good clean fun. "I don't like doing things that other folks tell me to do, so I hit him with a hammer, and now he's quite subdued". Well, clean-ish at any rate. The Rumble Strips are a real anomaly in a nation where jeering at talent show rejects is the pastime of choice. Relatively image-free, they carry nostalgia for an England of yore where boys could carry conkers in their coat pockets, sip at shandy on special occasions and be happy with their lot, without crossing over into the realm of novelty. Their reliance on thrifty rhythmic foundations, strong vocals and chipper horn arrangements originally places them somewhere between The Housemartins, Madness and Dexy’s Midnight Runners, whilst also charging through the kind of frantic, ruffled songwriting that Razorlight thrived on before the lure of the arenas stubbed that right out. Charlie Waller is a terrific lead vocalist too, and never short of reams of witty, wholesome lyrics. Girls and Weather creates a world where singing about wishing your bike was a motorcycle ("Motorcycle") and lying on your back staring at the clouds ("Clouds") really is good enough. When hammered out with the kind of eccentric panache familiar to patrons of the Mystery Jets, of course it is. --James Berry
