SINGLE OF THE WEEK: TWO
NED'S ATOMIC DUSTBIN 'Happy' (Furtive)
A joyful romp through psychedelic indie-grunge heaven that's catchy,
charismatic, funny and frantic from beginning to end. Imagine The Cure
dipped in an amphetamine-filled pit then forced to sit through the back
catalogue of Sub Pop and The Ramones six times over, and you'll get
a good idea of what 'Happy' entails.
Frighteningly infectious, once this gets locked in your skull it simply
won't go away. The Neds have been polishing up their act and increasing
their threat to labotomise the charts for some time now. This should
ensure they storm in all flags flying. Scrumptious.
