"This little England, it's dingy and it's mean" snarls Simon Clayton after the minute long intro to The Indelicates forth single. This bleak view of the USA being the force you must tie yourself to in which to be successful rings poignantly through the song and, as soon as the riff starts to build and become more and more powerful, you can feel the passion that The Indelicates put into thier music. This is not simple, 'paint by numbers' rock but intelligent, considered rock where you are just as likely to see the band reciting a poem at an open mike session as headlining the barfly.
This was the final single from the Brighton five-some before releasing thier fantastic debut album and set the stage perfectly. After previously releasing a uniquely titled single "We Hate The Kids" as well as the joyous pop single "Sixteen", this shows the darker side of the band, full of resentment and dissalusionment at modern politics. This is revolutionary music for those not quite ready for Rage Against The Machine, pop music for the cynical. Although the lyrics are possibly the best part of this band, they have plently of songs which prove they have the musical talent and, if you havent already, you should definately give them a listen!
Heres a taste of this great band off a selection of demos Simon put together
