Ex-FALL guitarist Marc Riley and his ilk have come up with another quirky, rigid fast-paced Anglo post-punk record. It’s no accident that this should appeal to FALL fans or fans of groups like the THREE JOHNS or the MEKONS, as guitarists from both groups make appearances here.
An eclectic album full of guitar pop. Most of it is quirky and the rest is countrified psychedelic. Occasionally, it even rocks out, but not nearly often enough. The guitar playing is very high quality, the musical structures are too clever for their own good. Someone should make the CREEPERS listen to the RAMONES’ Road to Ruin LP because a dose of cretinism is needed here.
