The Alps love tunes - can't get enough of 'em in fact! Similar to less fussy post-punkers The Jam, The Police and Elvis Costello, the Greenwich quartet don't muck about when it comes to knocking together the kind of thorny three-minute gems that look set to barge their way into mainstream consciousness. “4/5 'The Shining' is positively champing at my bit. The verse, a marching army of stunted chords, is trapped in a barking, bullying groove. Like a toy car, it's a song pulled back and ready to gun off into the skirting board.” Drowned In Sound
