Considering I was never in a band, ‘Band practice’ played quite a large part in my teenage years, and many summer nights were spent watching friends chug through endless covers of ‘Serve the Servants’ and ‘Cherub Rock’ in an old studio in the corner of Ulverston’s Ford Park. Chops would be cut, Cans would be supped, and occasionally the leathery-faced old cowboy who looked after the building would nod in approval.
Pretty Penny Slur—the new one from Mica Levi, Alpha Maid and Zach Toppin’s Spresso project—isn’t a hundred miles off the kind of honed slugging that I think my friends were gunning for. And that’s a good thing.
