Judging from this EP, Video Nasties show glimpses of potential. If they steer clear of the Razorlight route then all will not be lost.

It’s a fine start to what is sure to be a fruitful career for Alessi’s Ark, and this EP will serve as a fantastic introduction for anybody not already acquainted with her debut album. TMM Recommends

Royals does not pull you in as much as it wants to, mainly due to the improvised feel and the vocals delivering incomprehensible lyrics. What should be free-flowing and natural is more like trying to swim in Marmite.

Luckily for the Days, the crowd at Blackpool were in an all-out partying mood. Luckily for Blackpool, the Days were an act worth being really bothered about.
