Northern Suburban Rock & Soul

About Me



I've heard enough here to recommend you seek out the Golden Age if you fancy a listen to some slightly off-kilter rock 'n' roll.
SHANE BLANCHARD, TASTYFANZINE.ORG.UK
... combining the classic British guitar music of the Stones and The Who with the driving rhythms of XTC to create a darkly glamorous sound of their own
CRASH, SHEFFIELD HALLAM HUBS PROMOTER
A riot of new wave and power pop ideals shouting from the barricades
