===========================================

5.0 out of 5 stars Where Francis Began,
An excellent debut from what I thought would be an exciting bunch of ‘prog pop rockers’ . Ultimately the band broke up , but they’ve left a few albums as their legacy . This album features the poppy ‘Calling All The Heroes’ ( although its not the mix for the single ) , the cracking harmonies and stop-start riffery of ‘All In Red’ , and the gargantuan sound that is ‘Never Go To Heaven’ . The title track at the end is a nice wee Francis only piece on acoustic guitar that is a fitting finale to the album .
Favourite track ? Never Go To Heaven .

========================================

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dated Gem,
I’d loved this band for a long time, but only discovered this, their debut record, quite recently. If like me you’re primarily familiar with their work from their two better known, stellar albums Once Around The World and Eat Me In St Louis, you’ll be in for a surprise on hearing this. Where those records are the work of an experimental yet utterly coherent, uncompromising progressive rock band, this is a vaguely quirky Go West with a guitar player who wants to rock. There’s even some ’80s pop-soul on there, in the form of Turn Me Loose.
The ’80s keyboard stabs and production value raise a smile and its infused with a boyish enthusiasm that’s profoundly infectious. The songs are mostly very, very good and there are two drop-dead, killer-diller classics in the unusually-themed Screaming On The Beaches and the live favourite You’ll Never Go To Heaven.

Stirring stuff, lots of ideas, a less kind reviewer might consider it a bit of a hotch-potch but its a great ride.

Undoubtedly the odd stepsister in the It Bites album family, but shes a babe nonetheless, even if her dress sense raises an eyebrow at times.

==========================================

5.0 out of 5 stars unsung heroes,
Belter! Always enjoyed this bunch’s approach to carefully crafted heavy stuff that’s not blues oriented (why do so many people with guitars play blues based rock year after year? Yeuch!)
Gorgeous delicate tinkly moments are also a delight .
This is mainly fast, furious and clean-sounding well-produced music which is good for playing LOUD! Bust yer eardrums on the motorway!

This dude is playing the A1 I Got You Eating Out Of My Hand 5:37 song and comments on top of it:

Enjoy!
