OK so Glasvegas are the next massive thing and we've reviewed 'Daddy's
Gone' before so I'm not gonna spend much time on it. I kind of like
this song. The more I hear 'em the more I think they're a half decent
band and the flipside of the CD single and one of the 7"'s (that
doesn't have the Nirvana cover on) is a cracking tune called 'A Little
Thing Called Fear' which is well old school indie. Loads of Mary Chain
in there and I way prefer it to the A side. Daddy's Gone is a good tune
and it's gonna appeal to a lot of people given the subject matter of
the lyrics though personally I'm not fussed about ever hearing it
again. I've heard it far too many times somehow.....The B-side though
is well good.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
