Stay away? Up to you of course...
Camden Town is rightly revered for three things: annoying Goths, awful Chinese/Thai takeaways and crap pubs. Yep, it's a shithole.
The Stayaways, whom hail from Camden Town have thankfully steered away from crafting a single that lyrically deconstructs the act of stuffing cold boiled rice into your mouth with a plastic fork after ten pints of shit beer in the Dublin Castle whilst fighting for space at the bar with a bunch of idiots whom look like extras from the latest 'Crow' sequel. Thank the Lord for that.
However, do you remember Dead 60s? 'Controls' sounds a bit like that - SO last season, darling. Jangly ska-rock-derivative guitars, lyrics commenting on psychological disintegration and artistic validity are all well and good, but it's been done before and a lot better too. Production-wise, it's solid enough; even if the vocal is mixed way too high.
'Liar Is Me' sounds like The Jam played backwards. In theory, that sounds like a backhanded compliment. It isn't.
'Controls' passes the time well enough but it's certainly not good enough to distract you from downloading Jacko's back catalogue. I mean, how many copies of 'Billie Jean' does one person need?
