Alphabet Backwards - Primark (All Towns Look The Same)
It has been two years from the last time we here at Room Thirteen got to review Alphabet Backwards and we have been scratching our heads as to what has happened in that time frame? The highly promising 'Polar Bears' EP seemed to not launch the band into the expected superstar status.
Fast forward then to 2009 and a new single from the five piece arrives. The first two minutes of this three and a half minute tune is based on electro keyboards and bass with some fantastic witty realistic lyrics thrown in for good measure, which with a title of 'Primark (All Towns Look The Same)' you get a sense of the realism of the songs subject. The final part of the song is faster and something that surely will be getting the crowds dancing at their upcoming South East gigs, including the Truck Festival.
Whatever the Alphabet Backwards have been up to over the last two years, it is good to have them back on our radar.
