 ... production and talented song writing capabilities marked in this album. With feet firmly fixed together, we happily shake our knees this way and that to this first, ‘catchy personified’ track which has been since set in stone as a theme from the decade other genres forgot. ‘Happy Hour,’ for those who don’t know, should speak for itself. It’s jangly guitars and racy drums create a smoke filled, Northern high street pub scene on a Saturday night are coolly dissolved by Heaton’s soulful, and almost angelic voice. A fast, ...more
