The new single by Manchester’s latest indie guitar band featuring legendary ex-Smiths rhythm section Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce thankfully sounds nothing like a cheap Smiths tribute band, although thematically speaking, titles like Kiss Me, I’m A Social Worker weren’t licked from the stones. On first encounter 'Two Fat Lovers' is charmingly glib in content but the tune just doesn't take.
