Reviews

'Find of the week is the "Work is a Four Letter Word" EP on Fortuna POP! Leicester quartet John Sims are like a girl-fronted Arab Strap. Cee Cee Beaumont off-shoot Go-Kart 800 play cool Billy Childish-style distorto shouty garage music. Mark Hibbett sings sweetly of the joys of working 9-5, while The Family Way's "Sweet Little Nothings" is a Sonny & Cher for the generation who never learned to sing. Poptastic to the max.' Everett True

'"More soul than Wigan Casino", they promise. Go-Kart 800 revive the glory of the Milkshakes; Family Way could be (male/female) Edwyn Collins clones; John Sims (a band) pluck the hint of genius out of a Joy Division bassline; and Mark Hibbett (a man) shambles winningly like Jarvis Cocker fronting a C86 outfit. More fun than Wigan Pier, certainly.' Record Collector

'Dancey pop from John Sims, garage punk from Go-Kart 800, and jangle pop from Mark Hibbett and ex-Mambo Taxi band The Family Way.' Bliss Fanzine
