More Keith

A lot is made in the press about Keith’s name. “Dull, uninspiring, insipid, forgettable and boring” they say. Well we want to say something about that. Stop being so nice! Keith? Name a famous charismatic Keith? You can’t can you? (Keith Chegwin definitely does not count). ‘Hold That Gun’ is a fairly solid blast of cultured indie pop that never really gets out of first gear. Sadly this song is a highlight of their ‘Red Thread’ album which does not say a lot for the rest of the LP. It’s hard to muster an opinion on Keith really. Everything moves along at a jolly pace and they play their instruments well. Dearey me we sound like their mothers. Keith, go away for a bit. Come back calling yourself ‘The Nazi Cow Pats’ or ‘Harold Shipman Was Innocent’ and make us at least a bit interested. Until then we have no option but to file you under P for Pointless.

what a pointless review - you were bullied by someone called keith at school weren’t you david, go on admit it? personally i don’t care less what the band is called - i do want to know what the track sounds like though. as it happens, i do know this single and think it is up there with The Smiths - a band you profess to like, along with The Automatic (ummm, actually i am therefore relieved you don’t like the record)

And you are paid to write reviews?

I suspect that it is because of this review that he isn’t paid to write reviews. good solid tune i thought, deserves better than yet another idiot in the commentary box banging on about the name of the band.
