There’s something so cathartic about listening to a noisy, shouty single. And Christ knows we haven’t had many of them for a while, as anyone with cool hair turns their attention towards The Kooks, Babyshambles or other indie, swing-your-pants bands. Whilst keeping their mosh-factor to the fore, Norwich’s Cord layer on the guitar generously, and vocalist James Leeds doesn’t even care whether he sings precisely in tune, such is their desire to rock out. The downside? It may have a touch of the mid ‘90s about it, but you can’t have everything.
