The Vivians - Just Two Girls b/w Glass Houses - 7

Labels: Too Pure
Review by: Ben Haynes

Misleading in more ways than one, this Edinburgh troupe is in fact an all-male five-piece. The press release contains a fantastic quote from the NME describing them as “œScotland’s answer to the New York Dolls”, while their own record label describes them as “œriotous, anthemic punk” and even has the guile to compare them to Richard Hell. In fact the two songs here sound like a wet Killers, or even-more-flaccid Glasvegas, played by clueless, desperate, industry-pandering fucking idiots wearing leather jackets and shades.

Dire, awful, horrible music. Artrocker indie-pish-by-numbers and the worst kind of shit available. Avoid at all costs.
