Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A taut, danceable post-punk debut of jittery guitars and urgency. Sharp and exciting. A mid-2000s indie cornerstone. One album in the catalogue, and it's a good one.

On vinyl: 2000s vinyl is increasingly rare second-hand — a repress is usually the easiest route.
