Toowitawoo! The wise old owl has cleverly inserted a Harrisons CD into a CD player. I will push the play button with my ultra sharp beak usually reserved for tearing apart small mammals. This is their new one called 'Dear Constable' which is a term I could see replacing 'more tea vicar' PARP!!!!! 'Dear Constable!' It's not a bad effort from them, like. Its their chirpy indie pop, melodic which is an astounding coincidence as that's the name of the label that have put this out. I'll spare them the wrath of my beak as the B-side is called 'Allen Ginsberg Said James Dean's A Twocker' Twock-a-woooooo!!!!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
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.
