Album Review

Captin Phoenix – Stand By

• 5th May 2008

The fact that the word ‘fuck’ is sad about fifty times in the song kind of ruins it, that and the fact that it’s really just a load of repetitive garbage. It’s hard to escape the feeling that the cd may have a scratch and is just going round and round on a ten second loop- it’s that one dimensional. They kind of sound like ‘the view’ but without the cheeky chappy charm that pulls them through and instead you get a load of polite kids who think its really rebellious to put the magic ‘f word’ in their song over and over and over again.

In their favour the singers got an ok voice but the song itself is riddled with far too many clichés, meaning they’re really gonna struggle to please many critics and sound like anything other than an extremely light support act.
