17/10/2014, Paul PLEDGER
"Shit happens/that's the way it goes.." - and so our second nomination for this round-up's poet laureate award rumbles forth. Duncan Reid formerly of '70s punk japesters The Boys (aka The Yobs) has his feet in new-wave and his head in the clouds of pop and to prove it he's unleashed what sounds like a remodel of Boomtown Rats' Rat Trap, sped it up and written some easy-going lyrics that spout, 'yeah, whatever' in your face. It sounds like The Lightning Seeds doing 'angry', twenty years out-of-date but likeable nonetheless.
