I'm really horrifically sorry about this but can anyone actually explain to these ragged, tired ears o'mine what the fuck is the point of THE VIEW? They absolutely suck the biggest logs like the worst third rate pub toss EVER. I can hear several long forgotten plodding loser bands on 'Same Jeans' (boring title yet again) but because of their rubbishness, can't recall the names of any single one. That lazy, slurring Libertines style vocal is present, especially on woeful b-side 'Cherry Girl'. The only good thing about this band is that the tunes have some kinda shambling rough edged "charm". Then again, you really can never polish a turd so just as well. Listen to this & follow it with, maybe, These New Puritans & you'll realise that i'm so right. Why so popular? The game'll be up after the debut. Nothing memorable, nothing exciting, not even nice to look at, The View (out of the window, into the building site) are my nemesis this year. Grrrr. CD/7" limited jobThe kings of Dundee return with the 3rd single from their debut album "Hats off to the buskers" (22nd Jan). Ltd 7" blue vinyl features "Screamin 'n' Shoutin". Cd features "Cherry Girl", "Superstar Tradesman" live & vids of "Same Jeans" & "Superstar Tradesman" live.
