Hey is it just me or does the band name Sexy Kids sound a bit... wrong? Anyway the said Kids have an indie popper of a 7" out on Slumberland Records. The group includes 3 members of The Royal We who I never knew had gone kaput. 'Sisters Are Forever' is a competent slice of female fronted guitar pop which on second spin makes a lot more sense. There's a really happy fun vibe to the track and when Phil heard it from downstairs and through the floor he was reminded of Magoo, Stereolab and early Too Pure stuff. It's bloody catchy and all. Pink vinyl to boot.

In the grand tradition of great pop music from Glasgow come Sexy Kids. Featuring three members of the sadly
departed Royal We (their All The Rage single being one of THE anthems of 2006), Sexy Kids specialize in spiky
post-punk pop with the emphasis on POP. Since first hearing it at the beginning of the summer, we have been
itching to drop Sisters Are Forever on you, the unsuspecting public. An absolute anthem of a tune, Sisters Are
Forever recalls Girls At Our Best and The Raincoats, but is very much a Sexy Kids show all the way. Driving,
catchy and sporting the finest sing-along chorus we've heard in ages. Pure class. B-side Drown Me is no slouch,
either, a fine slice of minimal pop sparked by a bouncy bass riff, a little twang and handclaps. What a single. Even
Pitchfork agrees that Sexy Kids are pretty darn special. You can go to the Sisters Are Forever page for more info
and an MP3. All copies are pressed on pink vinyl and come in a snazzy full-color sleeve.
