Elly Roberts reviews

Mohair: End Of The Line Mohair: End Of The Line (Ear Candy Records) Take a dash of pure Britpop and Vaudeville and you get a very special brew. Watford's very own troubadours Mohair, are infusing a unique mixture for the 21 century. End Of The Line is mix of '67 Kinks meets Blur meets The Small Faces: the net result is very clever pop. From the opening piano, to the pulsating romp which it becomes, it's fresh and enlightening in an undeniably faithful retro mood. The brass blast section coming in at 3 mins 5 secs is the icing on the cake. It's brave, confident, bombastic and wonderful. With USA Q Prime's Grunion Records signing them up, alongside luminaries such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Garbage, Metallica, Muse and The Lost Prophets, it indicates a great deal of faith in this band. The single is heavy on playfulness, melody and harmony, at which they're masters. Tom Billington, Pet Baker, Alex Richards and Tim Slade are definitely names to remember. There's nothing quite like them on the music scene. British Pop at its best!
