Fantastic 7� from the South London Clash copyists� or so I�m told. I�ve never really listened to the Clash to be honest � am I still allowed in the �scene�? ;-) I remember coming back from Brighton with Dan (vocals / guitar) and Sean Rugger Bugger once and Dan was playing stuff like the Lambrettas on the car stereo. He couldn�t believe I�d never heard of half the music he was talking about. But despite not knowing the influences I really like this record. Side A is the stronger of the two featuring the twin blasts of �This Is A High� and �9 To Life�. All four songs on this 7� are available on the Wide Eyes and Nonsense album and it�ll be great a new �tone album proper later this year (hopefully!).
