Their 1st album is indeed brilliant. Its they're take on big brass soul.

Did'nt rate the come on eileen stuff though.

will hold of on judging them this incarnation till I hear it. but at least they're writing new stuff and not just doing a fecking nostalgia tour.

Most bands that Mods listen to are Not Mods, since when did that stop us listening???

its whats in the groove that counts

Still a great band, saw them a few years ago at the Pavillion, absolutely stunning live as a band, it was like a ''Gospel Meeting'' the band were on form, a great night, look forward to hearing the new album.

Looking forward to hearing this album. Hope it will be available on vinyl. Apart from my preference for listening to vinyl records and preferring the vinyl sound I just think it offers better value, 12inch record sleeve, large record cover, easier to read information on inner sleeve etc.
