Land Lovers: "Romance Romance"
(Charm School Records)
Rating: 4/5
Download: Dark Secret, No. 1 Communiqué

This sparky little gem from Dublin's DIY leftfield is a love letter to '80s synth pop with a stinging lyric sheet featuring well-judged sideswipes at commercial radio, the fickleness of the music press and (nice one this) Johnnie Borrell of Razorlight. Vocalist Pádraig Cooney is both wounded poet and cynical dissector of modern mores and his sonic furnishings of clipped guitars and wobbly eighties synths make for a smart, no-frills backdrop. A hugely promising and highly recommended debut.

It seems we're officially at war with Johnny Borrell and commercial radio. Johnny, if you're reading: I never meant for it to be this way.
Commercial radio, if you're browsing Thumped: you've met your nemesis in the form of harmless "80s" pop.

Wounded poet, cynical dissector of modern mores and the most awesome person on Thumped. This is an amazing time for me.

Who, exactly, do you have to sleep with to get a good review in 'The Guide'?
Is it more than one person?

I think I had to sleep with Larry Gogan, but I'm not telling.

Probably Larry so.
He likes it to keep the lights off.

This was cool. I thought it sounded nice and full as guitars/bass/drums.

How much is my signed copy worth now?
