EXCLUSIVE REVIEW - It's the south east - fortune favours the rich

Well, discovered a more alternative sound on the Island Records label. 2 very talented london boys, who are predicted to be the new 'The Streets'. These cheecky cockney lads produce and write thier own stuff. Its very dancey and alternative sounding. Its a beautiful mixture of spoken word over instrumentals. If you are picky about your music the closest people I can say they are similar to are The Streets, Lydia Lunch and Nick Cave. These lads will definately make you laugh with this conceptual album and if your even harder to please sing along with them. Its concept is a man who falls in love with a girl only to find out as the so eloqeantly put it is a slag. I dare you to play this loud when your parents are at home and I double dare you to play it to your grand parents.

Tracklist

Intro - Pure instrumental, will lead you to think this is a classical album which it isn't. Makes a perfect instrumental to do your own spoke word stuff over.

Round and Round ft Amelia - Very dancey song, can see it played in a club one of my favs to skank to.

On top of the world - Lovely song, slightly like the reverand and the makers. Makes you wanna sing along

Dirty slags ft ILS - Halarious even though it makes you wanna go on a feminist strop with the language but you have to remember thier cockney lads so chill and enjoy.

The start of an end - sets the theme in place here as you find out she is a slag

Best Mates Bird - OMG i was laughing so hard at this and singing along coz it was too funny to keep a straight face to. My fav song on the album.

Fortune favours the rich - latin beat and narritive story lyrics, i love the accents to the point i forget how much they swear. Makes you wanna dance drunk to it

We can't decide - A slower song, funny but its kinda cynical in approach and like a debate or conversation. I like it quite inspirational for how men think about women and sex.

Chinese Whispers - Slag been at it again and thier metaphores are getting funnier. Funny tune with some great string backings with the drum beat.

Waiting - Sad song, made me wanna cry. beautifully written, bit like Plan B with the masculine honest sentimentality.

Constantly stoned - Got that feel to it and its soooo funny, sing alongish and honest about weed . I love it!

So overall I love it, its funny and brilliantly cheecky. So download it at http://www.zshare.net/download/7375145208bb6f07/. Be a daredevil and try it, I'm sure you'll like it xx
