HUG were an "emerging Indie band" with a female singer signed to Kitchenware records in the 1990s who never quite emerged.
Mechanical Mouse Organ are the same band with a new male vocalist, Darryl Todd,
Todd is the nephew of bassist Liam Gilfellon, and brings some youthful energy to the laddish old-school rock sound.
The other members of the Newcastle foursome are Dave Curle (drums) and George Kitching (guitar).
Their nine-track,download only debut album is released through their own imprint and was produced by the drummer.
It seeks to capture their rough-and-ready live sound with as few overdubs as possible.
The net result is a no-nonsense, no frills, no surprises album that was probably fun to make but not very inspiring to listen to.
