This Manchester outfit can boast Paul Weller as a patron - but
that's no guarantee of quality, considering his recent passion
for the similarly generic Rifles. What did he see in Twisted
Wheel that made him offer them a support slot on his next
tour? You can only assume he discerned something of his
younger self in their energy and lack of pretension, and that
led him to excuse their many weaknesses. Their debut album
features brutally basic guitars and Saturday-night shouting,
which only works when the tune they're beating the life out of
is catchy enough to withstand it; the swaggering Bad Candy,
for instance, is just about OK. And as far as saying
something, compare "I leave to go and have a piss/ Go and get
some cream to soothe my painful blisters" with Weller's
impassioned "All that rugby puts hairs on your chest". There
is no comparison.
