So the race is on to find this year’s Polar Bear or Acoustic Ladyland – the next punky jazz outfit with a cool name and rock ’n’ roll attitude to snaffle a Mercury nomination. Drummer Mark Holub’s blistering outfit certainly have all the moves: punk energy, hard-blowing horns and a dynamite live show. Sadly though, their frazzled mash up of New York downtown jazz and hometown swagger somehow ends up being rather less than the sum of it parts.
