Help She Cant Swim- Fashionista Super Dance Troupe

I know this album was released last year but I think its so fookin quality it needs to be reviewed.
Help She Can't Swim are a real rock band from the south coast. They're songs are opposed to all the modern trendy hip haircut blues rock coke head bands that somehow seem to be amazingly popular at this moment in time. The album itself starts off with the spectacular bang that is "Fermez La Bouche" , things slow down for "I Don't Need You" with some fancy "do do do's" in the background which give it a sensitive feeling. The album soon speeds up again with first single "Bunty Vs Beano", screams of "girls don't wear blue and boys don't wear pink" from Tom Baker set the standard for the recurring boys vs girls battle throughout the album. The real gem of the album comes on track four "My Own Private Disco" where super sexy vocalist/synth player Leesey Francis sings a sensitive and heart felt tune about a quiet drug fuelled sexy night in with a loved one which turns out to be a dream. Every song on this album has a meaning and none as strong as "Are You Feeling Fashionable" which is a strong dig at super trendy pretentious indie magazines, hipsters and boring bands which all churn out the same songs as each other. The song finishes in "Fuck your band, suck our band" which I think would have been a nice abrupt ending to the album. Theres only one weak song on this album("The Dance Party Turned Into A Wake") which could have easily been left off for one of the stronger b-sides that the band keep producing. The album finishes on "Apples", another heart felt tune from the depths of love about never being accepted. Hopefully the band can gain some mometum with a couple more singles and a larger tour.
9/10
