My Heart Gets Blown to Bits
Another in a long line of “What could this band had been had anyone across the pond heard them?” Probably not much, but they are a blast. It doesn’t help to have a song called, “Keep The Junk in America” and sing about how much we are trash.
Every song carries with it the sense that, if you were a fan and you heard them come on, you would sing along.
They aren’t going to get many more fans after this, though. This is the end for them. But, I think they have fans and those fans like them.
Songs like “Red Fingernails” and “My Heart Gets Blown to Bits” had to have been crowd pleasers. No? I liked them. I bet Nick Lowe would have as well. They sound like he wrote them.
