Westfield Mining Disaster, The – Big Ideas From Small Places (Cider City) CD

Product Description

“A rare beast, melodic pop with bite! …they share Paul Heaton’s knack for sneaking barbed social commentary into the most innocent sounding of melodies”
(Vive Le Rock)

“The band champion the poor and downtrodden in their lyrics… it’s a shame more bands aren’t telling tales of what it means to live in the UK in 2010”
(Sounds XP)

“Jangly guitars with ascerbic political lyrics. Its’ refreshing to hear such venom in C86 clothing”
(Sheffield Phonographic Corporation)

“Lilting Americana lite… a musical landscape packed with everyman douchebags content to witter on about real life’s tedium”
(Venue Magazine)

“A twisted take on guitar-pop, mixing jangly guitars with a hybrid of alt-country, dark brooding lyrics and no-frills charm – their roots are in ‘C86’ era indie-pop having previously founded 80’s twee-pop veterans The Haywains”
(Moles Bands)
