Sometimes Collective serves the vital public service of warning you about diabolically atrocious bands before you have even heard of them. New Vinyl is one of those bands that you will have a minor chance of hearing of in the next couple of months, so prime yourself now. New Vinyl is like if a bunch of Supergrass and Kaiser Chiefs fans decided they would try and do a band that would be a bit influenced by the Who, but completely fuck it up in the process. This is, utterly, astonishing. If it’s not the gruesome guitar solos, it’s the miserable keyboards, and if it’s not that, it’s the whole package. Some of the lyrics are beyond fathoming. Seriously, are the band proud of lines such as: “You need viagra just to make you squirt”?
This is, by some margin, the second worst CD we have been sent all year. The only thing it is not worse than is Kunt and the Gang. And nothing will ever be worse than that.
