Look up The Tea Street Band and you'll find this Liverpool act describe themselves as the "bastard mutilation that in its most extreme" with 808 State, Doves and baggy icons The Happy Mondays offered as reference point. Spend some time with their eponymous debut album and you'll find ten tracks that live up to this billing, dwelling in a zone where the lure of the bright lights of the weekend nightlife meets the glowing effects pedal lights of the indie practice room, and therefore it follows that their debut marks a marriage between dancefloor beats and boisterous invective, likely to appeal to fans of Friendly Fires, Klaxons and Flowered Up alike. For all those wondering if the dance-rock demimonde was in need of a shot in the arm, look no further.
