\"\"<\/a>Always a bonus to make it onto one of the planets coolest labels means that you must be doing something right.\u00a0 Right? Right!\u00a0 working with the Muffs and Little Steven and getting the queen of rock Debbie Harry to sing on your record makes your\u00a0music pretty desirable in my book and on ‘Come Spy With Me’ she works her way through a bazzilion\u00a0genres from Gospel bubblegum vocals with trashy guitar licks ‘I’m Satisfied’ through power pop and punk rock and surf there has to be something in here for every conceivable taste and the bottom line is the songs are terrific,\u00a0 Exceptionally played and delivered.\u00a0 There are guest appearances from the likes of Debby\u00a0Harry, Steve Van Zandt, Genya\u00a0Raven, Members of the Pogues, Plimsoles, The Fuzztones and of course Paul Collins.\u00a0 Now if your looking for a good reason to investigate this slab of power pop then surely I’ve just given you half a dozen, haven’t I?<\/p>\n

Look at the artwork and whos on it and then the song titles and it’s not difficult to see where this little ray of sunshine is heading.\u00a0 From the Swirling Keyboards on ‘Walk Away’ to the more punchy ‘I Thought You Were Going To Kill Yourself’ to the Shangri\u00a0la of ‘Tragedy Ann’ Hell there’s\u00a0even time for the one and only Handsome Dick Manitoba to make an appearance on ‘Ballad Of Madface And The Baby’.<\/p>\n

Spread out over twelve songs I love this record it’s easy listening of the finest order and there are songs for every mood and every occasion – to pick a favorite is nigh on impossible but I do love the Handsome dick tune and possibly the Happy birthday one with Debbie Harry on wait…its like Palmyra has managed to graft a small piece of each artists DNA into the music yet create something that doesn’t scream each either which\u00a0is really clever and skillful.\u00a0 Wait, ‘Kill Yourself’\u00a0is probably my favourite\u00a0and that doesn’t have any special guests on it so maybe it doesn’t really matter because the bottom line is this album is great and my advice is to go investigate.<\/p>\n
