Supernovas

Hmmm, I want to like these boys because i’m always up for a bit of a political ingredient in a song (takes me back to Jam and 'Going Underground' and the like) but there is such a thing as being subtle and this is not.

The title and the graphics on the cover make it clear what it is all about and it’s even got a dig at the Daily Mail in the lyrics to ensure that they mean business.

However the lyrics are really obvious, as are the targets, with lines like ‘Roll up and read about it’ and the music just comes across as noise.

Maybe i’m not down with the kids enough to give this the thumbs up but it’s going to take a lot more than this one track to make me pay attention to the ramblings of this four piece north London band.
