Single Review

North London four piece Gear sound like they were conceived on the cobblestones outside their local chippy and have probably set up home there ever since. 'Liquor', their debut single and highlight of their frenetic live set sounds like something that Carl Barat and Pete Doherty would have grappled about during the 2002 World Cup while England were losing to the 10 men of Brazil.

B-side, 'Electro NastE' on the other hand, sounds like the remnants of King Adora's last demo and is probably best left alone.

Still, one out of two ain't all bad, even if Marvin Lee Aday went one better.

3/5
