Here's the brief: "State your lazy list of influences and mimic them". They accordingly and incoherently concur, around forty years too late to be revolutionary. 'Just Shut Up' is aptly the name of one of their songs. Alas, off I went in search of something more desirable (or at least less derivative), capitulating my pursuit at the back of a yard hanging out with the older, more embarrassed folks waiting for Hadouken! Something like this, is requested: "If you're a Hoxton Hero or an Indie Sindy, show your hands (innit)". Is it etiquette to question the ridiculousness of them trying to pass this off as post-ironic? It's like an episode of 'Skins' without the rhetoric.
