"PAUL ROWAN IS A CLASSIC GLAM ROCK FRONTMAN IN PUNK CLOTHING WITH A SOUND CHARACTERISED BY SHORT, SHARP STACCATO RIFFS, THE BAND ARE NOT AFRAID TO ADDRESS ISSUES SUCH AS GENDER REALIGNMENT, ON "PLASTIC FANTASTIC" AND LGBT MATTERS IN GENERAL : AND THEY DO SO IN THE TRUE "DON'T GIVE A FUCK" SPIRIT OF PUNK, COMPLETE WITH IRONIC, SINGLE ENTENDRE LYRICS SUCH AS "SATURDAY NIGHT AND I'LL BE BANGING ON YOUR BACK DOOR!" FINISHING WITH THE ULTIMATE QUESTION, "DO YOU BELEIVE IN LIFE AFTER PUNK?"IT'S AN ENTERTAINING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING SET".

GEORGIE RAMONE AND PAUL ROWAN

"STOP STOP START AGAIN DELIVER ENTHUSIASTIC, FUN AND ENERGETIC GLUNK. KICKING THEIR SET OFF WITH A BRIEF BOWIE TRIBUTE, FRONTMAN PAUL ROWAN ENGAGES IN GOOD-HUMOURED BANTER WITH THE EARLY COMERS BETWEEN THE SONGS, WHICH THEMSELVES HAVE STRONG HOOKS AND MELODIES. AND IT'S HARD NOT TO LOVE SONGS WITH TITLES LIKE "PLASTIC FANTASTIC" AND THE RAMBUNCTIOUS "BANGING ON YOUR BACK DOOR".
