Fire Department goes some way to justifying this hype - It's a short and sharp blast of raw, lo fi punk rock packed with the danger and unpredictability of Pete Doherty on crack, edgy guitars, a throbbing bass line and lead singer Jemima Pearl's omnipresent angst ridden squeal, which draws obvious parallels to that of Karen O.

B-sides Take That Walk and Hillmont Avenue display that they possess talent enough to write more than one good song, the latter being another incendiary cocktail of frantic guitars and Pearl's enthusiastic vocal delivery. So there's enough energy on here, at least, to power a small town, and also to suggest a rather promising future.
