I do like how they always sing in unison. Like Bananarama. happy

The acoustic strumming reminds me of something else.

Is it Ronnie Lane?

With accordion, I'd say yes.

It is over.

To be honest, it wasn't the most engaging thing ever, with songs that felt relentless and unappealing vocals.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 2 stars.

Well, it were alright. A bit too folksy and dull for my liking but it was listenable and mildly quirky. The last track was genuinely good.

I didn't like it all that much, but it would be churlish to be overly negative.

They obviously had/have talent and some chutzpah and verve, but the product was, for me, a bit rote and predictable.

I think they probably had good taste in music too.
