...according to our Clinton on 04 February 2010.

Next up in retro CD jewel case (remember them?) is a CD called 'In Bed with The Bambinos' by The Bambinos. I'm sure someone else has done an album with that title? Gary Glitter maybe? Anyway there they are on the sleeve looking very lank of hair - you're gonna get dandruff all over those nice clean sheets! I was nicely surprised with opener 'Slidy Slidy' decent chunky tuneful power pop with nods towards its late 70's golden era, strangely since they have similar hair to early Teenage Fanclub, their music has the same languid, melodic feel as the Scottish popsters in their younger days. Tracks like the Buzzcocks-like 'Bardo' have something about them that hints at possible greater things in the future - they are not doing just the usual three chord trick and are being a little bit more ambitious about the songwriting though the production values can be somewhat lacking at the moment.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

“The Bambinos” are a pop group from the small city of Wakefield, near Leeds. What to say? The music's created through the medium of guitars, bass, drums etc. and on the recordings keyboard and extra guitar. Listen out for it! What else to say? Jay's on the vocals, Tim's the guitar, Pete's bass and Sam's got the drums. Liam's also there occasionally with words. What else? We write songs about mine-shafts, music critics and things that go spook in the night. So far – in the future, mini-tour of Bath, Scarborough, Sheffield, and Pontefract. What to say? Here are a few things we like: tea, friendship, and good times. We are trying.
