College Pinks' repertoire of odes to the underdog and bittersweet torch songs are underpinned by driving bass and lush sweeps of cello, while sprinklings of glockenspiel counterpoint the jangly electric guitar riffs.
Tired of arse-kissing and boot-licking, College Pinks decided to say: 'No more!' The future lies in collaboration, home recording, self promotion and internet distribution. Better an mp3 downloaded for free, or a CD-R in a photocopied sleeve, than over-compressed, over-produced and over-priced dreck from HMV.
