Crossing Jamie T with The Blockheads and holding them up by the bootlaces of Sham 69, may seem a little weird and wacky. In the case of this Jak Payne led South London quintet it makes for a potent, mildly piercing rhythmic combo.
Leery, stammering vocals and blues infused blasting and mod-strutting guitar/percussion surges, helps to give their working class life commentating oodles of snap and adds a gyration friendly edge. The Metros big-sounding approach is going to win over those who like their tunes bold and a little bit garish.
