Yee-hah!
Come on kids, we're jumping purposefully onto the band wagon and taking ourselves off to the packed destination known as Post Punk Central where all artists can compartmentalise themselves neatly into 2005's biggest fad and most over-subscribed music genre.
Already chart-friendly with their 'Panic Attack' single THE PADDINGTONS limp into town with their follow-up 'Sorry'. Riffing on third, fourth or maybe even fifth-hand musical ideas that were based on a stolen idea that was robbed blind from another idea that in itself had already been swiped from someone who had borrowed it from a thief who in turn was caught 'handling' for another burglar who swiped his brother's record collections circa 1978-1983, 'Sorry' is like Bloc Party supporting The Strokes supporting The Libertines and is actually just a rip-off of very single Sex Pistols riff (all three of them) contained in one song.

THE PADDINGTONS are from Hull and against all conceivable odds have made that fact more interesting than their music. If they'd called themselves The Paddington Bears then I might have raised an eyebrow in a Roger Moore style. At one point they sing "Oh is it over, is it over I can not tell". Wait a minute I can hear the answer coming through now:
Bong.
Bong.
Bong.
Yep it's over: that's the sound of the death knell ringing across Post Punk Central.
