    Lyrically, things grate from the off, with cringe-worthy and rudimentary rhyming couplets being Peñate’s irritating stock in trade. By the end, everything has blended into a graceless, jaunty melange of up-down guitar strokes, bellowed vocals and mid-tempo skanks.

    Oh dear. Why are you wasting my time? You sound like Scouting for Girls and you do a little dance with your feet when you sing. Just no.
