At a price of most probably lower than £10 there is no reason why someone should instantly shame the brilliant album from Scouting For Girls (a play on the Scouting For Boys handbook first published in 1908). Having sold over 400,000 copies, it reached number 1 in the UK on 20th January 2008, no more than one year after being signed to Epic.

This song has a captivating tune and, like many other songs on this album, is easily recognisable. 'Keep on walking till the sun comes up' is, for instance, recurring and makes the tune ...  Read the complete review

I think this is a band you either love ...  Read the complete review
