Do it Like You Like, by The Stands (7")

What a shame what a terrible.........flippin' shame. The Stands emerged with a cracking debut single last year which made me wonder if there ever really could be a British beat combo as good as The La's. Unfortunately nothing that followed was quite as good and their nadir came to me whilst watching them live executing a 20 minute guitar freakout in front of bored onlookers in the drizzle at a festival in Manchester last year. But they've put all that behind them with a new single that unfortunately ignores the jangly pop licks and concentrates on ham fisted rock cliche's. I once had an argument at a gig with the singer out of The High for a similar misdemeanour. I felt terrible afterwards as I really shouldn't have brought it up in front of everyone during their set. But I was young and an idiot. It is true, though, all bands go towards rock in the end and leave the subtleties behind. This sounds like a cross between late period Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Both bands were in their pomp over 35 years ago. Its 2005 now.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
