Next up are Last Gang, and although their musical influences are worn predominantly on their sleeves, their whole presence displays an air of confidence that merely eschews the 'when' not 'if' to their arrival into the big league.
While their potential was evident six months ago, one felt that they may have been swept away with the tide of bands steeped in classic British post-punk tradition. But, of course, there is one major sticking point that Last Gang have over most of their rivals in that every song could be a single in its own right. From the opening 'Show Me' and Kristian Walker's and Matt Smith's Jones-to-Strummer call-and-response vocal stylings on the tale of drunken shenanigans that is 'Beat Of Blue' - a ska-laced punk-pop ditty that simply begs to be shouted at football stadiums from Peterhead to Portsmouth - Last Gang could very well be the last line in classic anglicised day-in-the-life summaries for quite some time.

Is the album only being released in Japan? Because there's some killer songs on there that I can't get anywhere else! (Bring It All Back and We Can't Go On, namely) If it's not being released in the UK is there somewhere else I can get those?
