INVADING THE BROADSHEETS #2

Review from today’s edition of The Times

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS:

“No one will ever accuse The Others of possessing “chops”. The quartet, from Brighton and London, play the most reductive form of post-punk imaginable. Their bass lines are reminiscent of Peter Hook and the chant-a-long choruses sum up a latter-day Jimmy Pursey (which makes them Oi Division, I suppose). But an adoring audience at the Rhythm Factory clearly identify with each word of their songs, such as the simplistic if insanely catchy debut single, This is for the Poor. Many will loathe the Others’ clumsy sloganeering and limited musical approach, but plenty will love them too, and they’ll both have a point.”
