6/10 SPRINGBOK NUDE GIRLS – APES WITH SHADES (SONY) 

But it is those hits that have sustained the band’s popularity through a number of releases like this one, on which a succession of songs that with a contrary tone and a musically impressive core have done more to maintain the Nudies’s integrity than they have to attract new fans.

They do, somehow, still sound fresh, which is impressive given the passage of years and the impact on the collective of solo careers and being apart.

Turn up the volume for the riffs on the title track and No Good For You. – BD
