May 11, 2010 by RED

NAME: The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
SINGLE: Love Turns To Hate/ Sushwep
YEAR: 2010 (May 10th)
LABEL: Black Records
RATING: 4/5
FIVE WORD REVIEW: A Brash Return To Form

LOCATION: Brighton,

LINE UP: Guy McKnight (vocals) / Marc R Norris (rhythm guitar) / Sym Gharial (bass) / Tom Diamantopoulo (drums) / Tristan McLenahan (lead guitar)

WHAT’S THE STORY?: Those who found ‘Rise of The Eagles’ a little bit on the twee side will be delighted by the new album from the band with the longest name in the history of music. The new single has the same catchy lyrical sensibilities, but the guitars are back to their heaviest, the backing vocals are back to their angriest and the whole thing is a lot of messy fun.

SOUNDS LIKE: Their singles from the first album, that gained the band some of their highest chart positions and a loyal fan base.

YOU’LL LIKE THIS IF YOU LIKE: The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, and their unique, formidable style.
