This album will also be the first chance for fans to hear recordings featuring new drummer Simon Goldring. And I have to admit that the drumming is so much better - it sounds like they are really making the effort this time round! I love “Life will be the death of me” and “thanks to the girl” - both songs have a similar sound and deal with similar issues about dating, life and girls. I can definitely imagine these guys having plenty to moan about with all of the female attention!!! Yeah right, bet they love it! On an island has a ‘celebrity love island’ vibe to it. It’s very happy and is much rockier than there previous outing! It has the fun side to it and may resemble the previous song “ Seaside”. The boys seem to have taken this album a little more seriously. Trying to repeat the success of “over the counter culture”, I think they’ve made a really good job of it! “Rudi’s in love” is a really nice song; it sounds like something your mum and dad would dance to down at the disco in the 60s! Brilliant! “Red letter day” is quite a sad song, with the violins and the sadness in Preston’s voice… The album is definitely one for the summer! I really love it (but not because I’m a fan already – but because I’m professional!). The songs are quite short and sweet but it’s more than enough from these guys. Over the past few years they’ve built up an amazing fan base, so all you fans aren’t going to be disappointed!!! The boys are going to be playing dates throughout the summer here’s just a few!
