THE ALBUM OPENS WITH A SONG CALLED 'INVITATION' THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING PINK FLAG-ERA WIRE MIGHT PLAY IF JOAN JETT DECIDED TO FRONT THE BAND, AND ENDS WITH A SONG CALLED 'BASS WOLF,' A DARK 'N' DELICIOUS TRIBUTE TO THE LATE BASSIST OF JAPAN'S GUITAR WOLF THAT INCLUDES ONE OF THE BAND'S MOST IMPRESSIVE RIFFS. IN BETWEEN, THE MUSIC FLASHES BY FAST AND FURIOUS IN SHADES OF BLUE AND GRAY THAT MATCH THE ALBUM'S STARK COVER PHOTO OF A PAIR OF SCISSORS PLACED AGAINST A SLIGHTLY BLOOD-SPATTERED BLACK BACKDROP. THE REVERB DRENCHED JANGLE ON THE INTRO OF 'SEARCHING FOR YOU' SOUNDS LIKE EARLY '60S KINKS BUT SUDDENLY EXPLODES INTO A BIG BLAST OF PLAYFUL POP THAT BOASTS THEIR MOST INVENTIVE MELODY YET; THE TITLE SONG SOUNDS LIKE NOTHING THEY'VE EVER ATTEMPTED AND ACTUALLY HAS MORE IN COMMON WITH BROODING ENGLISH ART SCHOOL POST-PUNK THAN BLONDIE OR NIKKI & THE CORVETTES; AND THEIR COVER OF THE EARLY TUBEWAY ARMY RARITY 'BLUE EYES' IS JUST SIMPLY AMAZING AND SHOWS WHAT GREAT TASTE THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD IN PICKING SONGS WITH THE PERFECT FIT)

MARK & THE SPIES - Mark & The Spies CD £12 (IN TIMES WHERE THE PACKAGING, THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COLOUR PRESSINGS, THE MOST LIMITED CIRCULATION AND THE CRAPIEST SOUND SEEMS TO BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE ABILITY TO WRITE A GREAT, SIMPLE AND DEAD CATCHY TUNE, MARK & THE SPIES ENTER THE SCENE TO PROVE ALL YOU SELF-APPOINTED ROCK’N’ROLL EXPERTS WRONG, WITH THEIR AWESOME BLEND OF PURE CRYSTALLINE 60’S POP AND CLASSIC GARAGE-BEAT.
