Details:
After casually tossing off two of the finest singles of this year in
Woody Woodpecker
and
The Sheriff of Aspen Way
,
Cuddly Shark
raised hopes for their debut long-player. I am more than happy to report that said album contains more high-quality, low-fidelity punches against the seemingly-endless tide of bland tripe most iTunes store zombies seem more than happy to fork out for. The band may have to pull the staples from such meaningless-muso labels as ‘indie’, ‘punk’ or ‘punk indie’, ‘indie punk’ or ‘Scottish’ but I’m sure this will only serve to sharpen their riffs and lyrical bile. And if a certain Mr.
Holland
had a genuine regard for new music then he would get them on his show based on track nine alone.
