I can't but help feel Kid Harpoon is a bit rubbish. Listening to his Second EP I can now confirm I do think he is a bit rubbish. We'll that's probably a bit unfair cos he's probably all talented everywhere but listening to this makes me want to buy 100 bags of crisps and kid myself life is actually alright. I'm sorry this ain' t for me.

Beautifully lyrical songs that defy being pigeonholed…in a league of his own” - Independent On Sunday. “A passionate troubadour with more heart than a lion on heat” - NME.
Following on from his critically acclaimed ‘The First EP’ comes this second set of songs from Kid Harpoon called ‘The Second EP’. Some people may think that releasing 12 songs before an album is risky, but not so for this singer/songwriter – Kid Harpoon has over 200 songs at his disposal, which he has written in less than two years. As well as this, Kid Harpoon has been slaying audiences with his band The Powers That Be on the recent We Are Scientists tour.
Opening with the brisk, quick-sharp strumming of ‘Riverside’ it finds Kid Harpoon at his most frenetic yet, ending off with a pummelling outro as razor-tinged guitar collides alongside pounding drums.
As was evidenced on ‘The First EP’, there are a trio of songs here, ‘Fathers And Sons’, ‘Suicide Grandad?’ and ‘In The Dark’ – all part produced by Kid Harpoon himself - that show him as an introspective songsmith whose lyrics bristle with imagery and regret.
