Every Good Boy are anomalous to every decade in recent memory, but the band’s frighteningly well-developed sense of style and panache with arrangements have a fearless ambition, reconciling the late-70s schism between punk/indie raw emotion and grander, more “commercial” productions.

Where many a Manchester band has failed, Every Good Boy has derived a perfect archival sense of what the 70s psychedelic sound was all about. Baling Wire & Bubblegum speaks to this 70s dementia without being the least bit nostalgic.
