The Shermans - Calling It Wrong
A rasping guitar, throaty vocal and a swinging rhythm reinvent 'Bluetonic' for a new generation, throwing in an addictive Fratelli-esque chorus stripped of the irritation factor.
'Calling It Wrong' comes straight from the heart of Scotland via London and Liverpool. It's the sound of The Bluetones on a 60-a-day fag habbit, tossing an extra razor blade into the Vox amp and dragging Lee Mavers out of self-enforced mainstream exile to take his first tentative steps toward brushing aside the young pretenders. A rasping guitar, throaty vocal and a swinging rhythm reinvent 'Bluetonic' for a new generation, throwing in an addictive Fratelli-esque chorus stripped of the irritation factor. Amidst a squall of buskable indie toons, it's a cut above.
B-sides 'Smile Has Gone' and 'Wendy' consolidate the bands 90s Merseybeat sound whilst subtly mimicking Dirty Pretty Things, Dylan, The Pretenders and, yes it's true, Meatloaf. The Shermans; the happy sound of the underground bought to the comfort and warmth of your own home.
