    Mostly, Jon McLure's against Bad Stuff and in favour of Good Stuff, as well as being dead keen on 90s sounding dance-rock.

    McClure has since retracted his retirement outburst, and rightly so: a third attempt might make him a contender. [Aug 2009, p.95]

    A French Kiss In The Chaos is neither artistically interesting nor indeed very good.

    The Makers' second album is little but clumsily scribbled know-yer-enemy style juvenilia.
