Aaaaah, Charly Six. Another band from Leeds tipped for great things having featured on Radio 1. My first confession is that I came very close to not listening to this CD, primarily on the grounds of the artwork adorning the CD sleeve. The grainy image of a woman provocatively wrapping her chops around some sort of sausage isn’t ironic, or amusing – just cheap. And sadly the tunes on the aforementioned CD demonstrate roughly the same amount on invention and originality as the clichéd sleeve.
Opener “Get Drunk, Screw, Get High” could work as a shouty singalong, I’ve-just-finished-my-GCSEs summer hit, and is certainly the band’s most polished song on this rather rough and ready CD. However, if I was the girl who must be the subject of second track “Cut You Off”, I’d be disappointed and keen to make sure that the next time I broke someone’s heart, they’d write a better song about it – I don’t even know any teenagers naïve enough to want to consume that kind of droopy ballad. The tempo picks up for final song “Dead Young/Dead Gone”, presumably a paean to the rock stars of the 1960s which the singer in particular seems to idolise. Sandwiching a slow song between two more upbeat numbers is evidence enough of how formulaic this band are.
