The Voom Blooms – ‘Anna / The Models Of Soho’ (23RD) Released 18/09/06

This is the band’s second single and is the result of a drunken night in a cell in Paris when George decided he wanted to marry Anna, unfortunately he and Craig couldn’t really remember who she was. This is an infectious stomp that's very reminiscent of The Clash with its sliding guitars and belligerent vocals. It makes you want to jiggle yourself on a dance floor. The Models Of Soho on the other hand is more of an eerie delve into London’s underbelly. With more than a hint of The Specials, it takes you on a little journey into the sordid world of Soho. Unfortunately, there’s not really anything new going on here, it all sounds a bit too much like the music it's inspired by. But it is definitely an example of two guys having a good time making music, and that’s what its all about.
