'Life is short. Life is fun. I am young and so dumb. Stuck in you like a chewing gum.'.
Like Sounds in the late Seventies.. Banana Splits. Amyl & The Sniffers are back with their third album Cartoon Darkness and it's precisely that. Puerile, profane, vulgar and unrpentant. Magnificent stuff.
When I first started getting interested in music in the late Seventies I was faced with choices. NME and Squeezw, The Teardrop Explodes and XTC, Sounds and AC/DC, Adicts, Vice Squad. Being a nice middle class lad it was always going to be NME.
Now I'm heading towards my Sixties my heart warms fully to the totally unrepentant, utterly engaged nature of Cartoon Darkness. The constant career juggernaut approach. This doesn't let oip for a moment. Tracks called Jerkin, Chewing Gum, Tiny Bikini. Back in the moshpit. Maturity is overrated. '
