Stream and revisit: Our pick of the albums reviewed on Live4ever this week is Black After Dark, new from Bandicoot.
“They don’t make ‘em like they used to do whenever they used to make ‘em, so it’s kind of fitting that Welsh four-piece Bandicoot are happily living in the era(s) when late period rock n’ roll was having some of its greatest moments.”
“To do so they’ve indebted their debut album to Britpop, Bowie and the Velvet Underground; it’s hard to see how from there you could go wrong.”
“It’s a lot further to the Big Apple than Camden from Swansea, but that’s all a matter of it being in the mind and the foursome show nerves of steel in being able to fly between coasts like they’re on a giant zip-wire.”
