28 Costumes: 21 Years

28 Costumes - 21 Years I own this: 0 users / add your name
by Mike Diver

Sorry, but I just can't stop thinking about Aussie pop-punkers 28 Days. I'm not proud, but when I slipped this disc into my stereo I was sure I was gonna hear some guy's pathetic attempt at a rap over some equally annoying geetarz and deckz. Initially I was disappointed. Initially...

Liverpool's 28 Costumes aren't a thing like their similarly monikered Southern Hemisphere cousins. That said, they are like a lot of this country's indie-rock outfits, with this release at least. '21 Years' does the quiet... still quiet... still quiet... BIG BASTARD CHORUS thing very well. That's very well. Thing is, so do a squillion other songs. Ah well, it's still grand, and worth exchanging a couple of measly quid for, easily. Oh, it's limited editon too, you collector freaks.

Be better with deckz, mind. Maybe something to consider for next time, you multi-clothed oddballs.

    One of the best bands round Liverpool at the moment. Remind me of the later Wedding Present records.

    Yes yes yes this band are top, saw them in Liverpool last year and blew me away a wee bit... are they still wearing the dirty suits stage get up? They're like rocknroll but the anti-ponce-garage-rock-revival-rocknroll, lyrics like 'and no one should pay that much for a haircut' are great... they seem dead down to earth guys as well. In fact, SHEFFIELD people can catch em on October 12th at our 'Stranger Than Fiction' club night @ the Casbah with one of Sheffield's finest, Rumpus!
