THE problem with advancing years, and increasingly greying temples, is that fewer things surprise you. You’ve heard it all before.

So Honeyblood, championed in various quarters as destined to be the band of the year, meld into a mind that has listened to, and enjoyed, much better.

Glasgow duo Stina Tweeddale and Shona McVicar recorded this eponymous debut in just ten days at the end of last year and there is certainly an energy about the sound that months of overdubs and post production would usually grind down.

But it’s the content that is ordinary – 12 tracks that blur into each other without really sounding any different.

Super Rat, presumably a vicious put-down for a cheating lover, spits out taunts that sound more like the childish bile you’d hear on a school playground.

It is hardly the anthem it is purported to be.

Listen to opener Fall Forever, single Killer Bangs, and then save yourself the bother of the rest. There’s nothing else to learn.
