Fortune Drive - My Girlfriend's An Arsonist Single Review

Fortune Drive
My Girlfriend's An Arsonist
Single Review

Despite the fact that the title was probably cribbed from an edition of The Jeremy Kyle Show, Fortune Drive have made a decent single here.

A rudimentary exercise in White Stripes style blues-punk, it will win no prizes for originality, but there is enough urgency in the guitars and wit in the lyrics to carry it through and lift it above what most of the current crop of skinny-jeaned chancers are fogging up the airwaves with as we speak. A promising start, let's see what else they can come up with.
