This is good. From the conversational vocal entry, staccato guitar and throbbing drum part, there’s a Doors-ian strut to ‘In Love No More’ that is hugely refreshing. The guitar slashes are straight out of the Keith Richards textbook and there’s one of those small touches of brilliance that confirm the band have a pop sensibility in the judicious ‘Hey!’ thrown in at just the right moment on backing vocals. On this evidence, The Spikes know how to mine a good groove, keeping it tight and potent. Play it on daytime radio: the kids can stand the heat.
