Get off theTelephone

 

 


Still over in Coventry, Nuneaton based outfit The Kidda Band have had a name change to The Kicks and a new single, "Get Off The Telephone" released on Carrere.

One of my favourite bands, they've improved tremendously as a live act over recent months and Alan Hammond's songs never falter in their direct commerciality and instant lyrics.

That said, I'm not convinced about the choice of single, having heard the demo tapes I'd have personally gone for either "Girl Said No" or the stand out "Don't She Look F-A-B"
