As a confirmed fan of The Speedways, it\u2019s no surprise that one of their recommendations is releasing a debut chock full of pop goodness. The Melmacs will be on the same bill on 28th<\/sup> January at Paper Dress Vintage, east London. So, what do we have here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleven songs, from the immediate hook of \u2018Good Advices\u2019 to the Spectoresque \u2018Planet Melmac\u2019, it is a lesson in how to craft sly, addictive pop music. \u2018Stage Fright\u2019 adds keyboards to frantic riffing, made for playing in a sweaty club. Their blurb reads \u201cvery nice, very evil, stabbing you in the back, blowing out your earwax, rising the sun with its bare hands, nudging you on the dancefloor: no armpit left dry, no voice unhoarse, no haircut prim and proper: 100% hits, 100% fidgety\u201d. And who am I to argue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
