As Reviewed By Mister Esquire.

C-86/goth pop/britpop/shoepop/'dirty doo wop'.
heavy Cure/Smiths vibe. influences go from there through mid 90's, back to 50's, blah blah, but essentially circa 86/87. very, very vintage. they even proclaim themselves to be 'dirty doo wop.' I don't know if they're British, but they might as well be.
MR. ESQ. SEZ: MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW.
FCC CLEAN.
SOUNDS LIKE: CURE, SMITHS, CROCODILES, WEEKEND, PULP, GENE LOVES JEZABEL, LOVE LANGUAGE, SOMEONE I'M NOT QUITE PLACING AT THE MOMENT, ET AL.
PLAY: ANY/ALL/RANDOMEOW/GO COMEOWTOSE.
1. PURR-FECT II: slow, mid, building, forlorny pop. but he'll make it through all the mopery. he's got hope=he's Morrissy! (it's epic, baby!)
2. PURR-FECT: jangle sweet, brit poppy shoepop. slow to mid begin, gains momentum...rocks!
3. Cure w/Morrissy mewling.
4. almost Kiwi. trying to be ferocious. aww...
5. PURR-FECT II: slow to mid mewly. (gotta love the cheese!)
6. PURR-FECT II: a 50's prom feel, ala Shannon &The Clams. he's all in pain and stuff. then it gets all Curey.
7. PURR-FECT II: the lo-fi really rocks this. Crocodiles. almost Cloud Nothings. almost.
8. PURR-FECT II: fast, bashy, mewly. screamy at end.
9. PURR-FECT II: back to 50's prom. he's still mewling...gets screamy. back to mewly...Danzig? is that you, Danzig?...
10. slow, trippy, dreamy, blah, blah, blah...
11. PURR-FECT II: fucker keeps crawling back to that prom! Jezz! -he already threw up all that codeine cough syrup! waa waa waa...(real cool touch: endsound=needle on vinyl.)
