“Sounds like a pre pubescent Pete Docherty fronting Echobelly” - so runs the lead on the press blurb. Fuck me, if this is the best they’ve got to market a band, then said band shouldn’t just quit this instant, but delete every recording they’ve ever made, every on-line profile they have and then go jump off a bridge. The bigger the better. No bridge? I dunno, a tall building? A pier? Find a railway track?
Frankly, I don’t care. And no should anyone. Because no-one needs this shit. No-one needs Pete Docherty (sic), now or ever, at any age. Given what a prick of a so-called adult he’s been the idea of him in a prepubescent state is beyond the pale. No, it’s not just the drugs, he was clearly born a cock.

As for Echobelly, well, there’s a reason we moved on from Britpop and all that cal.
What was that heckle, give them fair hearing? Fuck that: life’s too short and I’m drowning in bands. If you’re that interested, go and check them out for yourself, and please, do report back. Just don’t bleat if I end up telling you I told you so.
