...according to our Ant on 15 June 2007.
Heading up the hotly anticipated debut album ‘No Fighting In The War Room’, ‘Dear Constable’ is the latest single from Sheffield scamps Harrisons, and like previous releases ‘Wishing Well’, ‘Blue Note’ and ‘Monday’s Arms’, it’s another blue-collar belter; a vitriolic rant set to an infectious dance beat.
On the B-side, another exciting proposition - a Harrisons cover of the Nick Cave classic ‘Red Right Hand’, famously one of the best songs ever written about masturbation. Here, Cave’s droll baritone is swapped for singer Adam ’Jubby’ Taylor’s distinctive Yorkshire accent.
Naming themselves after Harrison Road, a local street whose sign they eventually procured and used as a stage prop, they soon made a splash on the emerging local scene. Things moved quickly after that, with the band gigging around the country, picking up high profile fans (Steve Lamacq, Phill Jupitus), storming South By Southwest and recreating the football scene from Kes for the Blue Note video, roping in Phoenix Nights star Steve Edge as the PE teacher and winning the approval of Kes director Ken Loach in the process.
