Harrisons: Britpop As It Should Be

By Sebastiaan

Way back in September 2009, I found this CD by the britpop group Harrisons: No Fighting in the War Room. I had never heard of them, but was feeling lucky, and the CD was in the discount corner - five, yes five CD's for just one euro each - and it had a bonus DVD! How cheap can it get.

Well, three long, musically filled months passed, and I've finally listened to the CD. I am Amazed (yes, Amazed, with a capital A)! This CD is brilliant! It has a nice, britpop/indie sound to it, how shall I put it... the true britpop sound, the way it should be. It has everything you would expect from a britpop band.

On first listening, I didn't really have ear for the lyrics, then I grabbed the inner sleeve and started reading along... A lot of the texts are absolutely brilliant. Allow me to quote:

The kicking punching
Trigger happy car crashing kids
Stink of drink and think
That it is just the way life is.

Really love the alliteration in this, "car crashing kids", and of course the rhyme in"stink of drink and think".

Definitely worth buying, or, listen on MySpace.
