| Shiners - Just Got Paid |
So here we have one of those rare
breeds these days - a band with very little online presence. Hell, all I know
is that they're from London and they've got their debut single ready for the
wide, wide world. As far as I'm concerned they could a bunch of pimps and UKIP
voters but I'm here to review the music, not judge the people. 'Just Got Paid'
opens with a pure Britpop guitar riff and follows it up with the kind of indie
pop that Menswear, Livingston or early Blur would have come up with. A keyboard
riff that borders on cheesy, lyrics about suburban micro-dramas and vocals
delivered with the swagger of a local hero make this suspiciously like a song
that was frozen in the 90s and has only just been defrosted. For this reason
and many others I love this song and what it represents. The 90s approach may
also explain their almost complete lack of online presence. I'd best check my
pager for updates on any future gigs....
