Aye, I felt this at the time. They seemed the Who equivalent out the bunch, a hell of a lot more energy than all the shite that was playing in the common room at the time. I felt so apart from all that scene, but I loved the 60ft Dolls. And the Super Furries, and the Boos, but anyway. you have maybe inspired me to crawl into the stacks and find that first album, eh, maybe tomorrow. Might also look out that second one that got rejected and then crept out years later iirc, all I mind from that is "Alison's Room". But the first album is just high energy pop hits front to back, even the ballads. One of the true 90's lost classics.

three years pass...

Yeah, the first album is great! The second one isn't as great as the first one, but it's still - at the least - very good. 'Pig Valentine' has been running through my mind regularly for the last few years - so catchy.

seven months pass...

so, following a recent nudge, i tracked down a copy of their second album (did not realise it had actually been released to be honest).
and its not as in yer face as their debut, but its bloody wonderful.
'pig valentine' is still all time classic.
as is most of the debut album to be fair.
