Having successfully used the seductive draw of guest vocalist Agyness Deyn on previous single Who, Five O'Clock Heroes now return to the frolicking, folk tilted push of Anthony Ellis to continue the momentum with playful percussion combo led trot, 'Alice'. It is taken from Da Heroes sauntering second album, 'Speak Your Language'.
It is difficult to make jangling indie centred around feelings towards a member of the opposite sex sound fresh, but Ellis gives it a good go. This is mainly due to the way that he seems drop his high notes perfectly onto the slight skiffle veined guitar lob. Five O'Clock Heroes are determinedly making up for ground that was unfortunately lost with their debut album. They seem to be doing so with chirpy, free-spirited abandon.
