The garage door may swing open and shut with painful regularity and those tie-dyed hard trance remixes might not be welcome this week. but some things never go out of fashion. and that inimitable power pop-punk thing is one of them.
Singleskin have refined their sound over four years, punting unpretentious pop with a personable twist. taking the energy of Green Day. the dexterity of Elvis Costello and the pop ears of the Kinks. They're not the sum of these parts quite yet but they're on the right track. Hey. it worked for Travis and Coldplay didn't it?
