SINGLE REVIEW
Sadly not a cover of the 1978 Blondie single of the same name, The Talks are aping past music trends with all the grace of a mouldy old gorilla. Bands with jagged rock riffs and curiously poppy choruses, bands with ‘The’ in their name and painfully fashionable scruffy haircuts – the Hull four-piece are clambering onto the bandwagon a little late. ‘Picture This’ is a nice enough slice of Brit power pop, perfectly pleasant to hear on the radio. It just seems a shame that they are imitating bands from as much as five years ago considering their musical talent, on show here in fits and starts. Picture this, The Talks – an original idea. Something to think about.
