Review by Dan:

Avid Leeds United fans, the quintet take their name from one of South Africa’s best football teams, who once counted former Leeds captain Lucas Radebe amongst their playing staff. “Employment” is one of the most bustling albums I’ve heard in a long time. These boys have a lot to say, and each song tells a story – I’ve never seen as many words in a song as there are in “Saturday Night”. The voice of Ricky Wilson delivers the predominantly rhyming words in a seemingly aristocratic way, often resembling a young Ray Thomas (of Moody Blues fame), particularly on “Oh My God”, and “Caroline, Yes”. My pick would be the streetwise “I Predict a Riot”, which reminds me of those pioneers of early Britpop, The Jam, but also up there are “Everyday I Love You Less and Less”, which could easily be Madness, and the Sunday stroll that is “You Can Have It All”. “Employment” was a lot of fun to listen to.
